Bastille Day

July 14, 2022 By Deanna Piercy 1 Comment

Bonne fête nationale! Today is what we, in the U.S. might call “Bastille Day”, the commemoration of the storming of the Bastille in 1789.

    I wonder why still today the French Revolution is celebrated. It was a shameful event who persecuted, emprisioned and killed thousands of Catholics.
    The dechristianisation of France during the French Revolution program included the following policies:
    – the deportation of clergy and the condemnation of many of them to death,
    – the closing, desecration and pillaging of churches,
    – removal of the word “saint” from street names and other acts to banish Christian culture from the public sphere
    – removal of statues, plates and other iconography from places of worship
    – destruction of crosses, bells and other external signs of worship
    – the institution of revolutionary and civic cults, including the Cult of Reason and subsequently the Cult of the Supreme Being,
    – the large scale destruction of religious monuments,
    – the outlawing of public and private worship and religious education,
    – forced marriages of the clergy,
    – forced abjurement of priesthood, and
    – the enactment of a law on 21 October 1793 making all nonjuring priests and all persons who harbored them liable to death on sight.(wikip.)
    And they commemorate it still today. ?
    But maybe it’s ok because they were Catholics.
