Pope praises the motto of French Revolution
On his four-day journey in France, Pope Leo XIV was received yesterday at the Presidential Palace in Paris. In his address to the civl and diplomatic authorities present, he had words of praise for the motto Liberty, Equality, Fraternity and the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen of the French Revolution.Both the motto and the Declaration have been repeatedly condemned by the Papal Magisterium during the 176 years that have passed from the French Revolution to Council Vatican II. Among other pre-Vatican II papal documents, we mention:
- Act Quare Lacrymae by Pius VI of June 17, 1793;
- Brief Quod aliquantum by Pius VI, of March 10, 1791
- Encyclical Mirari vos by Gregory XVI, of August 15, 1832;
- Encyclical Nostis et Nobiscum by Pius IX of December 8, 1849;
- Allocution to French pilgrims by Pius IX of May 5, 1874;
- Apost. Let. Notre charge apostolique by Pius X, August 25, 1910;
- Allocution of July 11, 1920 by Benedict XV of July 11, 1920.
France was responsible for significant advances in our world, including the recognition of human rights grounded in the nature of the human person, particularly religious freedom. This constant focus on the dignity inherent in every person is echoed in your national motto. Liberty, equality and fraternity are not simply words emblazoned on the front of your public buildings; they refer to universal ethical imperatives that also find in the Gospel message an inexhaustible source of inspiration and fulfillment.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was proclaimed here in Paris – and in the drafting of which the French jurist and Nobel Peace Prize laureate René Cassin played a leading role – sought to foster a broader awareness of the inalienable dignity of the human person. Saint John Paul II, who regarded the Declaration as “a real milestone on the path of the moral progress of humanity,” was well aware that “any threat to human rights, whether in the field of material realities or in that of spiritual realities, is equally dangerous for peace, since in every instance it concerns man in his entirety.”
It is not difficult to realize that Pope Leo XIV, following in the wake of the six previous Conciliar Popes, changed the prior doctrine of the Catholic Church to fit the Revolution. We believe that this change characterizes the Great Apostasy mentioned in many prophecies, starting with St. Paul (2 Thes 2:3).
