His successor, Pius VII, believed in democracy and signed a Concordat with the “First Consul,” soon to be Emperor.

Pius VII was not a big booster of democracy, but of government according to the consent of the governed.

He had kind words to say about the United States, for example.

Now if the French can do an equally large “Resistance to Islam” March, they just might be on a roll.

Not surprising. They don’t want a huge muslim rebellion. They could care less about demonizing the Christians opposed to it, but then again they don’t torch 1200 cars on New Years - and that’s when the muzzies are “celebrating”.

Pinging this one too, more background and information. So Hollande the Socialist also wants legalized adoption by perverts and government payment female perverts for artificial conception. I wonder how long until major violent upheaval overturns the rapid descent into hell.

That’s good, but how many of them voted for the socialist? What did they expect?

Great, — but why is it “surprising”? In France, like anywhere else, what masquerades as democracy is a rule by a cynical elite that hates their own country. The people will tolerate fiscal mismanagement so long as they do not starve, but when their very humanity is being destroyed, they will rise up. In American too, — the day will come.
