The French state has been notoriously secularist for at least one hundred years and the French cops (“les flics”) are notoriously brutal. Nothing surprising, really, but just abysmally awful!

Are they as brutal on muslim ‘youths’ who’ve made a pasttime of torching cars in Paris suburbs?

I’m wondering if there is anyway I can purge the French blood out of my line. This is disgraceful.

This from the nation that used to be the center of Christendom.

I’m kind of looking forward to certain aspects of the coming Great Chastisement even if I suffer some.

This is, unfortunately, also a nation where Catholic Churches, all of them, are owned by the state. The Enemy is still at work.

What the heck, there are supposedly priests who applaud the “insight” of this scatology?

What does this imply? The state gets veto power over clergy?

IIRC, the state owns the Catholic Churches in France, allows/organizes tours as a means of generating income. One of the specific targets of the French Revolution was the Church, and many were persecuted, then, and afterward. Or perhaps a more accurate word would be martyred. In this, France and Mexico are alike. In the revolutions in both countries, first, the persecution, then the murders, then state control of some sort, with the state literally owning the churches themselves.

My mother is mostly Melungeon & Cherokee (though definitely All-American), but is also a descendent of one of William the Conquerer’s lieutenants. Things like this almost make me wish that were not so. Anyway, sorry I’m rambling. Perhaps the best way to put it is to say that while it is better than it has been, the state of France spends rather a bit of time and effort still, punishing the Church, IMHO.

The concentration of Christianity moves from place to place in the world. At various times it flourished in various European countries, then in America. Now that this is receding, quite ironically Red China is poised to see the next wave of intense Christian faith. That’s what you might expect from a faith that is “in the world but not of the world.” No earthly geography can claim a monopoly on it or assume that it is safe forever.

You mean the state assumes it has a role in carrying out discipline of the church.

That’s all bass-ackwards, an improper incursion of Caesar into God’s domain, and sooner or later France will get what’s coming to it.

Get a tranfusion from a German. The French blood will surrender.

I guess France doesn’t also own the mosques, huh.

MSM silence in the US, as with all of the disturbing news LSN reports.

Lifesite News might as well be from Mars, the disconnect is so obvious, and predictable.
