Anne Catherine Emmerich's visions and writings were used to a great extent by Gibson in "The Passion of the Christ."

These beatifications truly give glory to God, as Charles I and Emmerich suffered greatly for their faith.

We all know of Emmerich through Mel Gibson's beutifully splendid film, which is truly a work of love for Christ and for souls.

But most people have forgotten about Charles. He inhereited the crown of the Autro-Hungarian empire in hte middle of WWI after the death of Emporer Franz Joseph died, after a 60 something year reign. Charles was profoundly Catholic, and showed a gret love for the various ethnic groups of his large and disparate empire.

During WWI, he was constantly trying to find ways to reach a peace - but was out maneuvered by the non-Catholic masonic powers-that-be who desired nothing but bloodshed and the annihilation of Christendom - which was the Catholic civilization which was Europe.

His pleas for peace were ignored outright. During the war he took great care that POWs not be mistreated in any way - showing great mercy toward them. Any officers who violated his orders were to be dealt with severely, as being disobedient to the crown.

At the conclusion of the was, the govenmental/masonic powers in his homeland, and in Europe - and this country - saw to his forcible removal from power. He desired to be king, so that he could continue to keep his empire Christian, and continue his policies of equity to the various ethnic groups therein.

Though his life was short, he showed himself to be a great modern leader, and a thoroughly Catholic king. Had his policies been followed, the mess which is now Eastern Europe would have been pacified. Quite possibly, Communism would not have gotten a foothold. But that was not to be the agenda.

"Do not forget your dying king!"

Some of her visions are silly. (The cross built in the Temple?)
Google her name with the word anti-Semite.
