Something critical has been missed, even by the more astute of Cathlolic bloggers. Three days ago, the Duc d'Anjou, heir to the throne of France, was blessed with his first child, Eugenia. Not an heir under the Salic Law, but certainly GalliaWatch should not have missed such an important birth.
The Duke of Anjou, who would be King Louis XX, is shown above with his wife Mary-Marguerite. This is simply unbelieveable. I literally Google searched all the blogs for info on Eugenia, and I got one small paragraph- in Spanish! I know it is difficult, but I can see a future where France will regain its faith via the SSPX and its growth despite the collapse of Roman Catholicism in France, and the Bourbon monarchy is part of that future. The disgusting, vile, Freemasonic Revolution of 1789 is sinking in its own multiculturalist slime (and remember, Voltaire wrote an early revisionist work on world history in his time)- the very nature of justice cannot allow the descendants of Capet, Saint Louis, and the Sun King to remain pretenders forever.
Vive la France! Vive le Roi!

Thanks for the update. I had no idea.
Reading about 1789 is a good way to cure yourself of liberalism. Disiluusioned with the fruits of liberal and progressive thought in my own life sometime ago, I happened to begin reading about the French Revolution. That was really the last straw. Now I see how almost all revolutions are brought about by selfish, lustful types who have no real desire to help anyone but themselves.
You may already know, but the catholic Emperor of Austria (heir to the Holy Roman Empire) is still alive. He is Otto von Hapsburg, born at the end of, or just after, WWI. His family is very large, thank God.
What a coincidence! I was just reading about Otto von Habsburg yesterday on Wikipedia (whence I also got my Louis XX news). Sadly, he renounced his claim to the throne in 1961 (not to say he's a quitter; he was in Austria's parliament at one time). Luckily, his family being as royal as they get, I believe there is hope that one of his children will un-renounce the throne.
Speaking of which, my AP Modern European History class is now studying the Great War. Although it is taught as having been completely pointless, I made sure to remind the ex-Catholic girl who sits next to me that Austria-Hungary had been attacked by terrorists with connections to the Serbian government. The expansion into a world war, I see as at the fault of the alliance system, but morally equivalent to If after 9/11, we attacked Afghanistan, and all the Middle East put aside its differences, and made war on us. Of course, we would not back down then, and neither should Austria and Germany have done so then.
Of course, this era also brings back the memory of American involvement on the wrong side (Woodrow Wilson did nothing correctly), and thus our Nation's guilt for destroying the great Dual Monarchy.

I agree, however, with your instructor for the most part. Or, I am as appalled as he is by the lack of any good that came out of the war. WWII at least saw a tyrant put down. WWI was simply great powers of the old order destroying one another. Some say the old order was no good any more and had to fall, but I don't see any change for the good in the aftermath of WWI. The refugee story is simply awful. Were it not for the Great War, we might not have seen WWII, and the communists would not have had their chance in Russia.
Trivia: Did you know that the Latin missal carried a prayer for the Emperor until 1962, in the hope that he might one day be reinstated? It still carries a prayer for the Sovereign of England. Talk about hoping against hope.
That's a very interesting post about how France could regain their Catholic faith and piety. If it weren't for the SSPX, we wouldn't even have indult Masses springing up everywhere the SSPX set up a chapel. Maybe they will be the ones to restore Catholicism to France.
This prince you are talking about is of course from the eldest branch of the Bourbons, but this branch has been deprived of any claiming to the throne of France when Philip V was made king of Spain, by Louis XIV his father. Philip has renounced for him and his descents to the French throne, which has to be given to a French prince only ( quite different in England ).
The last French direct Bourbon, Count of Chambord being childless, has transmitted his rights to the throne to his heir, his cousin Count of Paris ( from the minor Bourbon branch : the Orleans ). It was recognized by all the European Courts of the time. So the two French Bourbons branches where reconciled and united in one heir.
When Count of Chambord ( or Henry V ) died in 1883 it was done so.
When the French Republic exhiled afterwards the head of the descents of the Royal family and forbade them to live in France ( this law was in vigour untill 1950 )it was this branch and not another one, considered to be not French, who was exhiled.
Because of the memory of their ancestor Philippe Egalité who has voted the death for his cousin Louis XVI, and because of moral problem ( divorces ) within the Orleans family, it has been " fashionable " in the 1970s and 1980s to consider the eldest branch ( the Spanish Bourbons ) as the legitimate heirs to the throne.
But this position is unrightful and rather recent.
John ( Jean ) Duke of Vendome is a quiet and peaceful young man who has much suffered his parents' separation, and doesn't want to over react to this new trend against his rights.
He focuses his actions toward different associations and is very active.
Unfortunately his Spanish cousin ( Franco's great-grand-son )is not involved in dynastic duties, hardly speaks French, and as he cannot deal with Spanish politics ( his cousin from another minor branch King Juan Carlos doesn't want him to suspect his own rights)he deals superficially with the French dynasty.
This messy attitude makes everybody laugh ( especially Spanish royal family).
This prince goes once a year to a Memorial Mass to King Louis XVI in Saint Denis near Paris; as the Orleans go to another ( Saint Germain in Paris )...
These positions are quite ridiculous and give an idea of the very little echo the Royalist cause ( unfortunately ) has in France.
