"France, Spain, Italy, all once bastions of Catholic monarchies, have fallen."

And not a one of them has ever returned to their former power and glory. All three are shells of their past glories.

At least Spain still has a monarchy, thanks to Franco. And I suspect there will be a backlash against Zapatero. He is going too far with his anti-Catholic agenda even for some of those who voted for him.
