P. Krzemiński: How Protestantism broke the power of France

Since the beginning of the Protestant organization in France, there have been many rapes, rebellions and plots dividing the first daughter of the Church in half. The politics of the monarchy was utopian and reconciled to specified an degree that King Charles IX gave the Protestants 4 fortresses: La Rochelle, Cognac, La Charite and Mountauban.

The Reformed began to form a state in the state, betraying a submissive French crown for England, in which the Anglican Revolution prevailed. In France, a strong Catholic organization was formed in the form of a home of Gwisius, which was murdered by later King Henry III (he escaped from the Polish throne), for which this monarch was excommunicated.

Religious wars in France actually started with a conspiracy in Amboise (1560), erstwhile the assassin La Renaudie wanted to assassinate the French Crown, as well as kidnap the most crucial representatives of the home of Gwis. Le Renaudie, however, was exposed and his plan failed. From the very beginning of their uprising: Calvinites, Huguenots and Lutherans wanted to force “religious freedom” by plotting against the king, creating a state in the state, and murdering Catholics. Of course, the Catholic people did not owe them any debt, and in an act of vengeance they committed a slaughter which went into past under the name “The Night of St Bartholomew”, the killings of retaliation did not justify anything.

There is no doubt, however, that Protestant heresies have weakened France internationally and besides destroyed the unity of the state in the face of threats from Germany and England. It was not without responsibility that the remaining kings, who from the very beginning arranged with Protestants, for example, to weaken German unity. This was a cruel revenge, as spiritual wars moved to Paris itself. Charles IX pursued the Protestant policy, tried at all costs to reconcile with the rebels, but it caused only full distrust among the Catholic people, who turned towards the home of Gwizius.

King Henry III, as I mentioned above, wanted to save the authority and power of the monarch ran distant to a disgusting crime and murdered the innocent: Henry I Gwizius and his brother Cardinal Louis Gwizius. Pope Sixtus V excommunicated the murderer.

Protestantism brought nothing but murder, conspiracy, and division. This totally contradicts the imagination of “tolerant” and “freedom” Protestantism in the context of “resistent” Catholicism.

Yet Cardinal Armand-Jean du Plessis de Richelieu had to fight the Protestant state in the state and break the power of the fortress La Rechelle, which was de facto supported by England a deadly threat to France.

Today France is no longer Catholic, triumphant in it anti-clerical laicism. It is impossible to see that Protestantism was the first to undermine Christianity in France, to undermine assurance in the legal authorities of the state, to undermine theology and morality sanctified by the Tradition of the Church, and to yet lead to common slaughter and murder.
