Film on the Vendée
Navis Pictures are producing a film about the War of the Vendée which is not included in the politically correct list of massacres and atrocities since it involved Catholics defending themselves against the most brutal and horrific torture and massacre during the French Revolution.
The film uses many young actors, and the story, though brutal, is told with reserve and the makers assure us that movie is suitable for children. It is due for release in January.

I've always thought Mel Gibson would satisfy much penance by putting this story to film.
It's perfectly suited to him.
Whilst the anti-catholocism of the revolution was revolting, let us remember that the house of Bourbon wearn't exactly saints.
I'm sorry Just another mad Catholic but that doesn't cut the mustard - the Bourbons didn't murder clergy and religious just because they were clergy and religious.
Jon--That is precisely what I was going to say. Mel would make it nice and bloody--as that genocide really was.
Louis XIV aka the Sun King = an adulterer who styled himself as 'Juipiter' and who pretty much forced any women who caught his eye into his bed, he also constructed an extravegant palace at Versailles whilst the common man starved and produced legions of pamphlets prolcaming how good he was.
Louis XV= pollitcal incompotent and serial adulterer who was idiotic enough to make and break political carreers on the whim of his main mistress and who expended the sons of france in order to further his claim for the austrian thorne (apparently France was not enough)
Louis XVI was a mason, enough said.
My sense is that the French (Traditional youth, especially) are waking up and realizing they have been lied to for 200 years. I can't tell you how heartening it has been for me to learn that there are many out there who know this story, and desire as I do, to help make the truth known.

There is much more to the story about Louis' relation to freemasonry, as can be read here:

He never would have sanctioned their anti-Catholicism. He died in the faith, as Fr. Henry Edgeworth de Firmont has attested to, having confessed his sins to the non-juring priest.
I had never heard of this! I am so glad that Jim has made this movie, and that we can now pray to martyrs that we previously never knew existed. I'm honored that I had the chance to write this article about it. Catholic religious liberty subject of family film
