Amédée_Varint_-_Christ_marchant_sur_la_mer

Pontiff, You are the vicar of Christ on earth,
a rock amidst the waves,
You are a beacon in the darkness;
You are the defender of peace,
You are the guardian of unity,
watchful defender of liberty;
in You is the authority.

These words of the Pontifical Anthem are as true today as the day on which they were written. The fact is that we cannot separate the Catholic Church and the Papal office, and all those who try will find that they have only separated themselves from the Church. We can no longer allow the falsehoods and misquotations of the Enemy to blind us into believing that we can simply reject Christ’s chosen Vicar, without at the same time ultimately rejecting Christ.

Churchill on the Destruction of Austria-Hungary

The second cardinal tragedy [of the Great War] was the complete break-up of the Austro-Hungarian Empire by the treaties of St. Germain and Trianon. For centuries this surviving embodiment of the Holy Roman Empire had afforded a common life, with advantages in trade and security, to a large number of peoples none of whom in our own times had the strength or vitality to stand by themselves in the face of pressure from a revivified Germany or Russia. There is not one of these peoples or provinces that constituted the Empire of the Hapsburgs to whom gaining their independence has not brought the tortures which ancient poets and theologians had reserved for the damned.

This Is Not Austria…

The Republiksadler: the dumbest looking eagle ever.

The Republiksadler: the dumbest looking eagle ever

The Alpine Republic of Austria has made every imaginable effort to deny its historic roots going back to the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. It shed all the symbols recalling the Hapsburg monarchy either in the form of the Danubian monarchy or its real matrix, the Holy Roman Empire.- Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn, Leftism

The Republiksadler (pictured above) may symbolize many things, but it does not symbolize Austria. The singled-headed eagle may symbolize the Republic, but it does not symbolize Austria. The mural crown on its head may symbolized the Middle Class, or it may symbolize the triumph of Oligarchy, but it does not symbolize Austria. The Hammer and Sickle in its talons may represent Industry and Agriculture, or they may represent the pomps and empty promises of Socialism, but they does not represent Austria.

Austria is an ideal which the Left will never understand, a concept which they cannot grasp. Austria is not some tourist country with scenic mountains. Austria is the sacred homeland of Emperors, Noricum of old, the very heart of Christendom. Austria stands for civilization, for the fight against the Great Defeat in hope of the final Victory.

Of course, our Victory is their defeat, and the truth is on our side- or rather, we are on the side of the Truth. That is the reason for the Republiksadler, and the Republik it represents. False history and false symbols are necessary to hide the truth, yet the Truth will not be hidden for long.

Sr.Majestät Kaiser Karl. (Reproduktion.)

The decisive task of Christians consists in seeking, recognizing and following God’s will in all things. The Christian statesman, Charles of Austria, confronted this challenge every day. To his eyes, war appeared as “something appalling”. Amid the tumult of the First World War, he strove to promote the peace initiative of my Predecessor, Benedict XV.

From the beginning, the Emperor Charles conceived of his office as a holy service to his people. His chief concern was to follow the Christian vocation to holiness also in his political actions. For this reason, his thoughts turned to social assistance. May he be an example for all of us, especially for those who have political responsibilities in Europe today!- Pope St. John Paul II

These few sentences eloquently express the heroic life of Blessed Karl, the Last Emperor and King. Pope Saint Pius X said of him that he was “Heaven’s reward to Austria for all her faithfulness to Pope and Church.” He took his sacred duty as King-Emperor as it was meant to be taken. He magnificently conveyed the principle of Catholic Kingship: “I have done my duty, as I came here to do. As crowned King, I not only have a right, I also have a duty. I must uphold the right, the dignity and honor of the Crown…. For me, this is not something light. With the last breath of my life I must take the path of duty. Whatever I regret, Our Lord and Savior has led me.”

Day Seven:
The Sovereign

Eyewitnesses praise Blessed Karl’s profound sense of duty. He understood the obligation of emperor given to him as a sacred trust, and saw himself as a father to his peoples. In a conversation with Count Polzer-Hoditz on April 28, 1917, the Emperor said: “It comes down, however, to simply help as much as one can help. As emperor I must set a good example. If everyone would only practice his Christian duty, there would not be so much hate and misery in the world.” His love for neighbor was exemplary. To ease the suffering of his war-weary peoples, Emperor Karl ordered that the palace horses and wagons be put into service to deliver coal to the Viennese population, donated much of his private fortune to the poor, and even gave away clothes from his own closet to the needy.

Day Five:
“Love Your Enemy”

The Emperor heroically practiced the commandment to “love your enemy.”

Throughout his life he continually, and in exemplary ways, pardoned others. Emperor Karl suffered greatly from lies, slander and many hardships throughout his life. Yet, the ultimate example of his pardoning others were the words he uttered on his deathbed: “I forgive all my enemies, all who have slandered me, and all who have worked against me.”
