It is no longer too early to tell. The reason the church was stamped out is the apostasy of Rome. Her religiously adulterous interference, ecclesiastical interactions with states, the persecutions and inquisitions, she broke her faithfulness to the Lord in her lust for power. In 1798 she was broken for a time. But now she steadily and stealthily restores her status to sit as a queen of nations. In 2024 I think the French speak of their churches, but not much.

The saddest part of the story is that after all that madness, the people supported an emperor only a decade later, and even though the French did make some limited progress under the succeeding Bourbon and Orleans dynasties, it was the Germans who finally forced the deposing of their last monarch by winning the Franco-Prussian War in 1871 almost 80 years after the revolution began.

The Kaiser ruined his country (which had the strongest Euro economy at the time) by jumping in to prove himself to those countries and cousins who made fun of him. Of course, France should have dishonored their treaty with Russia as they later did with Poland out of fear of Russia. And Russia, after its fearless leader had pulled France, Britain, and America into the war, killed their leader and left everyone else holding the bag. (This, combined with that Soviet pact with Hitler, is why Russia has no right to cry about fighting the main front against Germany for 3 years before D-Day.). Germany owes Russia nothing for Eastern Europe but Russia instead owes its own complete destruction to Eastern Europe. That’s a bill that will probably never be paid. What made me think of the Germans and the French Revolution was a video by Simon Webb about the critically largest army present at Waterloo that swung the victory to Wellington was actually a German army so Simon was giving them proper credit for what the Brits and Americans tend to celebrate as simply a British victory. That combined with my recent reading on the Paris Commune at the end of the Franco-Prussian War and the revolutions/riots in 1830’s/40’s France was what made think of it.

The French revolutionaries committed one of the most heinous crimes in history when they destroyed one of three images of Jesus Christ that were made during his life, by contact with his physical person. One of the three was the Shroud of Turin. I do not know what the third one was. Christ sent a letter, one of the only ones he is known to have written, to the King of Armenia, along with an imprint of his face on a piece of cloth. St. Jude delivered the letter and the image, and healed the King of the terrible illness he was afflicted with, for which he had sought Christ's intercession. The King converted to Christianity and the great St. Jude went on to Christianize all Armenia. The revolutionaries destroyed that image of Christ's face intentionally, but the letter survived and the text of it is still recorded today. The spirit of revolution is darkly evil and wholly aligned with Satan. This is the spirit embodied by the acts of the Olympic committee and that blasphemous mockery they presented.

I thought that this is essentially accurate; I'm far from expert on the strict chronology of Middle Easten geography, but I believe it's more or less reasonable to describe the area christianized by the venerable St. Jude as broadly consistent with what became known as Armenia, and I believe that happened fairly soon after the death of Christ, though not just sure how long exactly. But that it was roughly contemporary is possibly born out by the fact that the four quarters of Jerusalem are the Christian, the Jewish, the Muslim and the Armenian Christian quarters, and I believe those designations have been in place since biblical time to now. The facts of St. Jude's life are astonishing and fascinating BTW, as you probably are aware! I believe also that the fact that Armenia was a Christian nation was not at all an insignificant factor in the brutal, literal genocide committed against them by the Turks in the First World War period, and which Hitler famously was quoted as saying no one remembered, in order to normalize his murderous intentions against German Jewry a scant 20 years later.

I was so critical of the 20th century yet was always sympathetic to the French Revolution. Indeed, there seems few historical outlets that views such horrors in proper context. The most critical you will get are the "intentions were good", much alike how Communism is "criticized". The horror and everlasting effects of this great evil is still being realized by me, personally.

It's so tragically sad that people kicked out religion that should represent Jesus our Lord as the only Light in the midst of darkness because of the abuses and excesses of the Clergy. People don't hate Christ. They hated the Clergy who represented Him. On the Day of Judgement, they will all rise again and be judged in the presence of everyone else for defaming the Holy Name of Jesus...

@@bideni408 we don't disagree with the dates... but there's a very common misconception : _the motivation for these two revolutions are different , but the similarities is due to the fact that the bourgeoisie was playing a very significant role in these two : American revolution of 1775 started due to local anger over being unable to have a say in domestic affairs... The french revolution occured due to the catastrophic effect of the snow storms on wheat field, leading to collective starvation of the populace (social inequalities), the anger of the bourgeoisie over the corruption of the church and the tyranny of the state, enlightenment ideas seeped thru all classes of society, etc.... that's why i wanted to point out that the American elite got a lot of inspiration from the french revolution... the date where the constitution was officially ratified (1791), the french revolution was already well known, and didn't went through the periods of horrors yet... the American bourgeoisie was amazed this political evolution, and forked some of its principle... (there was no strong feudal foundation in english colonies, as a result the bourgeoisie was powerful) and since the french revolution was, practically, the bourgeoisie revolution (since it abolished Feudalism).... the bourgeoisie of these two nations were, indeed, on the same page in most of the cases...

Free Masonic ideas have spread amongst the nobility. Couple that with being power hungry, and they were easily swayed. Also, not all of these nobles were 100% in on the full extend of what was planed by the Free Masons, as the Masons usually operate in a pyramid-manner. The French revolution was organized by the power-hungry bunch of the nobility. Unfortunately, there were always corrupt people and unbelievers but their voices were quiet because the religious structures of society made them so. After all hell broke loose, all these voices emerged As for the pleb, a good propaganda machine orchestrated by the Free Masonic nobility was enough. Add other circumstances, such as the right timing (crops failed in subsequent years, money given away to support the American independence fight from Britain, ect. These caused famine).
