“There are two countries called
France. One is the sluttish Republic – ‘Marianne’ – the other is the timeless,
civilised doyen of Christendom, the nation of Clovis and St Louis, of the
Valois and Bourbon kings, the Catholic and monarchic civilisation that fell
with Charles X in 1830 but still defiantly survives in many enclaves. That
pulse will beat quietly today while the heirs of the sans-culottes strut their
stuff, proclaiming French nationalism under the figurehead of a Hungarian
president and his Italian wife.
“It
is all hollow, even on their terms: the lodges and the heirs of the Jacobins
have migrated to Brussels and are working on a more ambitious project, still
aimed at the de-Christianisation of Europe and the elimination of freedom and
tradition. France without its monarchy and the Church of which it was proudly
termed the Eldest Daughter is a desert.”
