Exactly who are referring to when you say ‘heretics’? If you mean Protestants I think you should take a hard look at whether your prejudices fit the Christian standard. The last time I looked God is the God of all mankind. He is the judge and jury; we are pitiful sinners in an evil world.

I have a copy of the new directory..

My Huguenot names are Sicard/Secord, Mabille/Mabie, De Forest, Du Trieux, Badeau, Parcot, Jandron/Gendron, De Kype/Kipp, etc

My sister has all the ancestry info as she has been digging deep for the last few years. In fact, last night she received a packet of letters written by one of our Civil War ancestors. My aunt recently died and had all this history stuffed in folders. Cousin and sister are going through everything, piece by piece.

Catholics would do it again. Their history no better than the muslims in killing other christians and jews.

The bishop of Rome doesn't have the teeth he once did.

But this is perhaps the greatest accomplishment of our Constitution
___________________________________________

So glad you mentioned the Constitution...

Huguenots were instrumental in influencing the writing ..

and also for the Bill of Rights..

The Amendments directly refer to the way they had been mistreated in France by the Catholic pope and king..

For 200 years in France until the time of the French Revolution, Huguenots were hunted down and killed and were the victims of bigotry and the denial of the “rights of man’ those ‘inalienable rights from God’

They wrote the Constitution...

[Gamecock]

Yup. It shifted to the English varient when the came to NC.

[Craftmore]

Maybe thats why hes so friendly to the muslims?

[ravenwolf]

I do not know who or what started it but i have no doubt that Religion is the culprit and it had nothing to do with Jesus Christ.

The religious leaders had Jesus killed because he was about to and did bring them down off of their pedestals, he did this by freely telling the truth which is the gospel.

The religious leaders did not give a dam about the truth, they just wanted to stay in power.

France’s loss was the world’s gain.
_________________________________________

Up to 200,000 Huguenots fled from France...nobles, middleclass, educated, craftsmen

The Huguenot clockmakers went to Switaerland...

the weavers to England, Ireland and the US..

The goldsmiths and silversmiths like the Reveres went to the US ..

Frances loss was the New Worlds gain..

By the time of the Revolution, there was nobody left to care about the king and the Catholic Church..

Just the king, the Cardinal and the rabble...

[D-fendr]

These wars were as much political as they were religious; there was little difference in those days. The Hundred Year War, the Thirty Years’ War... it was almost constant war in one place or another. Every family, faction, religion, culture had wounds that were long to heal.

What we could do now is not nurture the wounds of these wars, which only leads to more wars of one sort or another.

**BUT WHY LET FACTS AND HISTORICAL RECORDS INTERFERE WITH ANTI-CATHOLIC STUPIDITY????**

Did you see the facts just posted above your post?

[ArrogantBustard]

Interesting. Do you agree or disagree with “Craftmore’s” assertion?

[Salvation]

Lies, what makes you think that any Catholic or Pope would do such a thing?

I’m sure glad that the Comte du Grasse and his french fleet with the blessing of the french king didn’t hold your bigoted beliefs or we would still be a member of the commonwealth. Hail Britannia.

[Alex Murphy]

Did you read the facts in the link...?

"This would explain why in many cases, Catholics in the provinces went out of their way to shield Huguenots from the impending violence"

Black is white, up is down, bad is good.

My maternal grandparents immigrated here from Germany at the turn of the century. I found out later that my grandmother's forebearers were Huguenots who fled France for the safety of a Protestant state in northern Germany.

Voila! This fact unexpectedly added a French strain to our ancestoral genetic and cultural inheritance.
