The Pilgrims in the Desert Historically speaking the French revolution isn't as great as people think. The most convicting story I heard of is of some nuns who were executed because the French revolutionaries didn't want the monastery there and didn't want them wearing religious habits. If memory serves me correctly the story says that the crowd was unusually quiet (expected when your government is literally executing peaceful nuns) and the only sound during the execution was the nuns singing "Veni Creator Spiritus" until they all were executed. I pray we never have anything like that again though I know in other countries it very well may be the case that it is. God bless the Catholics who risk their lives in countries that still persecute Christians violently.
Also I actually find it funny that back when I thought the French revolution was good I thought all monarchies were tyrannies. I never did think of the fact that Queen Elizabeth II is my Queen since she technically rules Canada. I was one strange lad some years back. (But Jesus is King of Kings. He is above all.)
I'm pretty sure they also burnt down monasteries and killed an abundant number of monks. I agree with you that monarchy isn't nesserarily bad (but I often wonder why queen Elizabeth has more power in Canada then our prime minister).
