Well, it was a good slogan; even if Liberty did mean the liberty to slay anyone you didn’t like, Equality the sort of equality spoken of at the end of ‘Animal Farm’, and Fraternity a brotherhood, at least in the early days, of the arrogant, greedy, and murderous.In the last 221 years France has had its ups and downs; and I doubt it will ever again be the home of the Most Christian King.
However, it is still the home of many who do hold fast to the Catholic Faith; despite the grave shortages of priests, and sometimes the lack of enthusiasm and commitment on the part of some of the Bishops; and they need our prayers.
So please pray today for the Church in France, that the faithful may retain their commitment and their Faith; and that the faithless may be drawn back to the bosom of Holy Mother Church until France is once again a soundly Catholic country.
Ahh yes Liberty..... the Liberty to slaughter the Martyrs of Compiegne and countless other Priests, Religious and laypeople.
