How many of you know about the assassination of a priest at Notre Dame during the middle of mass? Only a century earlier, the St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre was carried out for two months, beginning on August 24, 1572. French Protestants, also known as the Huguenots, were slaughtered after decades of religious tensions regarding the Protestant Reformation, beginning around 1521 AD. This was depicted by survivor François Dubois.
In July’s End with Black Swans, I gave an account of the Jesuit François de La Chaise admitting to how he made King Louis XIV revoke the Edict of Nantes on October 18, 1685 (approximately 14 years after the assassination I’m about to reveal to you) and hire 300,000 troops to hunt down the Huguenots, deny them exit from France, renounce their faith, and confiscate their property on behalf of the Roman Catholic Church, “Many a time since, when I have had him at confession, I have shook hell about his ears, and made him sigh, fear, and tremble, before I would give him absolution. By this I saw that he had still an inclination to me, and was willing to be under my government; so I set the baseness of the action before him by telling the whole story, and how wicked it was, and that it could not be forgiven till he had done some good action to balance that, and expiate the crime. Whereupon he at last asked me what he must do, I told him that he must root out all heretics from his kingdom.”
Had I known about the events 14 years prior, which you’re about to get access to, I would’ve included it in my work. This fresh batch is of the rarest caliber and is only for those who appreciate the value I bring to this community. Enjoy.
