I find the old Catholic Encyclopedia on New Advent to be loaded with fascinating information.<BR/><BR/>Yes, Margaret, it is really a shame the way the Revolutionaries destroyed St Martin's shrine; it was supposed to have been magnificent. They spared so many of the other great churches and cathedrals, but poor St Martin, they really had it out for him. Nothing was left.elena maria vidalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17129629173535139807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534539169157708222.post-81827148393096520432007-11-11T18:28:00.000-05:002007-11-11T18:28:00.000-05:00Hmmph!

All we heard was how WONDERFUL the French Revolution was. Lies, lies, lies. <BR/><BR/>My children will read Trianon and Madame Royale among other good books to hear the truth. <BR/><BR/>Thank you, Elena for your wonderful posts. They are fascinating and so very needed to counter the drivel we were fed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534539169157708222.post-69001256601281913842007-11-11T18:22:00.000-05:002007-11-11T18:22:00.000-05:00Great post!

I clicked through the link through for "Protestants" which lead me to read about Merit. I know the history generally, but this got done to brass tacks. The fall-out over Merit really is quite ridiculous when understood in contemporary times. I think more than ever our society needs that individual accountability, that fear of Hell based on one's lack of actions, and/or poor choices.Alexandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12356420873078531863noreply@blogger.com
