This Catholic religion that small-time transgressive people are so fond of trampling underfoot under the pretext of a right to blasphemy is so intrinsically universal that spectators the world over — many of whom are not Christian — immediately recognized the reference to Leonardo da Vinci’s painting of Christ’s Last Supper, despite the attempts of some commentators to deny the obvious. 

While the history of France, having started 1,500 years ago with the baptism of King Clovis by St. Remigius, is inextricably linked with Christianity, the destiny of the city of Paris itself was very often linked to that of the great saints of the centuries that preceded us, starting with St. Geneviève (420-502), the city’s patron saint who helped save it in her century from invasion by the Huns and then the Germans.  ...

Every cloud has a silver lining. The woke agenda that never ceases to desecrate the figure of Christ and attempts to make a clean sweep of the past is provoking an unexpected backlash. It would seem that the new generations have taken it into their heads to belie the diagnoses of a dead and buried Christendom. Faith is still alive in France and around the world.
