Workshop_of_Hans_Holbein_the_Younger_-_Portrait_of_Henry_VIII_-_Google_Art_ProjectNationalism is a threat to the International Good, a subversion of true Patriotism. Its fruits are self-evident; endless war, tyrannical Statism, the Annihilation of Nations, and violent Racism. Yet despite these plainly visible effects, we live today in a Nationalistic world. Without a comprehensive International System or indeed Worldview, Civilization will kill itself, and yet that is exactly what is happening. The question is not when will it happen, the question is why is it happening now? Continue reading →

You know that I am born of the most Christian Emperors of the noble German nation, of the Catholic Kings of Spain, the Archdukes of Austria, the Dukes of Burgundy, who were all to the death true sons of the Roman Church, defenders of the Catholic Faith, of the sacred decrees and customs of its worship, who bequeathed all this to me as my heritage and according to whose example I have hitherto lived. Thus I am determined to hold fast…

For it is certain that a single monk must err if he stands against the opinion of all Christendom. Otherwise, Christendom itself would have erred for more than a thousand years. Therefore I am determined to set my kingdoms and dominions, my friends, my body, my blood, my life- my soul upon it.

Over at First Things, I was reading a good article about the saintly hero, József Cardinal Mindszenty, when I was struck by what seemed to be a subtle anti-Hapsburg bias. This becomes apparent in these two lines: ” Hungary had at times been a regional power…  and at others was subjugated and invaded by Mongols, Turks, Habsburgs, Nazis, and Soviets.” and “While Catholics are Hungary’s largest religious groups, its sizeable Calvinist minority led the fight for Hungarian independence. Lajos Kossuth, the leader of the 1848 anti-Habsburg Hungarian uprising, was a Calvinist; in the Hungarian mindset, Catholicism had long been linked with the Habsburgs. This changed in the twentieth century with Cardinal Jozsef Mindszenty.”

To suggest that the 1848 Revolution was a struggle for independence is to portray both the Hapsburgs and the Revolutionaries in a false light. The throne of Hungary was an independent member of the Empire, while Kossuth and his gang were traitors to the Crown of Saint Stephen, who insisted on the forced Magyarization of non-Hungarian minorities. But that’s a whole post in itself.

The question “Is it anti-Hungary to pro-Hapsburg?” can be answered with one word,

NO!

Restore the King and the Holy Crown!

The (Falsely Labeled) Seven-Headed Beast: Only Protestants Remember the Holy Roman Empire?

“For example, they will often tell you (in their praises of the coming age) that we are moving on towards a United States of Europe. But they carefully omit to tell you that we are moving away from a United States of Europe, that such a thing existed literally in Roman and essentially in mediaeval times. They never admit that the international hatreds (which they call barbaric) are really very recent, the mere breakdown of the ideal of the Holy Roman Empire.”– G.K. Chesterton, What’s Wrong with the World

With the admirable exception of our friend Tribunus over at Roman Christendom, few if any Catholics on the web remember or ever even learned about the Catholic Holy Roman Empire.

This is not the case with some Protestants, especially the world’s-ending-prophesying ones. Yet their knowledge is not laudable, especially as it is mostly misinformed. Not one in ten of them could tell you of the sanctity of Blessed Karl I or St. Henry II when questioned. And their ignorance goes deeper still, as they apply to the Sacred Book of Apocalypse (or Revelations) their own Anti-Catholic pet theories about the First Reich.

Let us examine three features these Anti-Catholic rants all have in common: Continue reading →
