toledo_jesus Posted March 28, 2006 Author Share Posted March 28, 2006 [quote name='Raphael' date='Mar 28 2006, 09:03 AM']All I have to say is that when a country celebrates, as its independence day, a giant swarming mob of angry citizens who overtook a lightly-armed building in order to release the founder of modern sadism, that's a very weird holiday. [right][snapback]924827[/snapback][/right] [/quote] don't forget, they put the heads of the mayor and some other guy on pikes and marched through the streets.

track2004 Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 (edited) We have a party when the earth goes around the sun, again. We have a party for the day a few of the guys signed a piece of paper that told off our king (as opposed to the day that we confirment the constitution or made the Brits leave). We get off work for Labor day and I don't even know why, secretaries don't get Secretary's Day off, and the people who have the really low paying jobs (me) don't get Labor Day off. People celebrate whatever they can. Also that lightly armed building had major symbolic significance for the French, like Gimo but really really different. Also just to say, if the French Revolution didn't happen I couldn't listen to Les Mis and I'd be sad. I couldn't read A Tale of Two Cities either, which would also be decidedly lame.

Socrates Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 The French Revolution was most certainly evil, and was vehemently opposed to the Catholic Church. The Church was persecuted, and the Revolutionary leaders attempted to wipe it out. Many Catholics were martyred by the guillotine. I'd recommend reading Dr. Warren Carroll's [url="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/093188845X/ref=sr_11_1/002-2323353-4496057?%5Fencoding=UTF8"][i]The Guillotine and the Cross[/i][/url] for a good history of the Revolution.

[right][snapback]925837[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Read that in my French Rev class. Excellent book. If the French Rev never happened, I would've taken a different history class in Austria. French fries as we know it might never have happened. French toast, French dressing, it all might not exist, if it weren't for the French Revolution. St. Louis de Montfort's Marian theology might not have survived. Girls might not drag their husbands or boyfriends to Paris. Paris would probably be the beer, hunting, fishing, car racing, hair-on-your-chest (on guys) and sports capital of the world, instead of the fashion and fluff capital of the world.

avemaria40 Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 "There is a castle on a cloud." Now you've got it stuck in my head! lol : I believe that there were needed reforms in the French govn't at the time but the heavy persecution of the Catholic Church and the Reign of Terror was taking it thousands of miles too far. It's one thing to be able to elect leaders and get out of poverty , it's another thing to behead anyone who disagrees with you. I think the influence is still there because now people aren't allowed to wear religious symbols in public places and it is very secular over there.

Oh, and by the way, those guys had no right to tell their gracious king off.
