Don John of Austria Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 1806 was yet another bad year for the Church, nott so directly as other years but in thatan act of finality occured whichwould stike a blow to Catholic Christindom, The Holy Roman Empire was destroyed, as I said in 1648 she( the Empire) had been Crippled and had been in decline since that time, but the Empire Had seen dark days before and so people(okay Catholics) had held out hope that she would find her strength and rise up to Champion Christendom agian, that She the Empire of Charlemange would somehow rise Phenoix like and fend off Modernities Faithlessness. The cause of her destruction was a man who's name we all know, a man, nominally Catholic, who looted the Vatican and exiled the Pope, who allied with the young U.S. would set about destroying the Remnants of Christendom---Napoleon. He crushed the Imperial Army and formally desolved the Empire. There are many reasons why he did this but certianly two of them where these, he ended the thousand year old Catholic Empire, He( and he was quite glad of HIS participation) had destroyed the old Medieval Champion of Christiandom, and he had destroyed any Chance of that old survivor coming back once more and championing backwards Catholicism, and challenging Modernity. In this He suceeded, the role fell to Austria, and she was not up to the Task. And so uder Naploleons troops boots fell the ancient Empire which was the lingering, if implausable, hope for a Catholic Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don John of Austria Posted August 8, 2003 Author Share Posted August 8, 2003 godconquers --given who he was following the rabidly anti-christian revolutionarys who Crucified Priest on their Church doors and made Guillotine's( sp? I hate French) for infants and started a new calander at 1 for the new Reasonable Age, Napoleon was a Champion of Christianity, but Compared to Louis XVI he was a heathen and he was most certianly not friendly to the Church.

God Conquers Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 True, but he realized that France couldn't exist without the Church, albeit began the separation of Church and state which has lead to the problems we're having today with "Catholic" politicians.
