The French Revolution: The Background

- Michael Davies draws on social, cultural and political history to explain the development of the French State, prosperous yet fraught with inequities. He examines the role of the Masons and devotees of the Enlightenment, who hoped to undermine the authority of the monarchy and the Church and extend the influence of their own ideas. Sounds like today doesn't it? Http://www.keepthefaith.org for more & the Latin Mass magazine
20:14 There has been no more accurate description of what took place during the French Revolution than by F E Groenfield who writes, " The French Revolution therefore, was the essentially chaotic and often violent process by which political power passed into the hands of those who already possessed economic power." In the words of one economic historian "It made the bourgeoisie the masters of the world." 31:05 we face the same enemy today.
31:05 this is the real enemy we face today.
Thank you so much for posting these talks by Michael Davies. He is a wonderful resource of knowledge, which has helped me greatly. My only regret is that I did know about him years ago.
Same here.
This is pretty relevant for 2020.
And even more so now in 2021!
More so for 2022 and 2023
Especially 31:05
Nothing ever changes,does it.😢
Michael Davies book "For Altar and Throne" is difficult to find since Remnant Press discontinued it...it is costly. A big price for a small book with about 100 pages. A collector's item. Why is such an important topic out-of-print?. I can imagine why...forbidden knowledge
Another rare book that is great on the topic of the Vendee is "A French Genocide": by Reynald Secher. Hard to find and when you do extremely pricey. What is that all about?.

Yes .
The universities literally control the dictional .
Should have said , the commie infiltrated universities .
Having once ben a publisher, it will be about lack of sales. Pure and simple. No conspiracy.
@@msj5885 Yeah I think it's just a small press that couldn't reprint it. You can still get the book for cheap on non-Amazon websites.
It is now available on Kindle. Thanks for the recommendation
Masons had an incredible role fighting secretly against christian ideologies.
Yes…would love an update now that we all understand the markings of Freemasonry to set up revolutions
So grateful for this!
Remarkably articulate and reactionary construction of history by a leading spokesman for the Catholic right. Right!
This guy is a very interesting intelligent person. Wish there were more like him
I find it laughable that anybody really thought the French Revolution was the peoples revolution, there are always those with motives and the means mostly... money to start things like this. In the end it was all about those with the money to be able to influence things. The poor people couldnt pay taxes either way so no voting rights for them.
Saint John 19:11
Jesus answered [him], “You would have no power over me if it had not been given to you from above. For this reason the one who handed me over to you has the greater sin.”
Saint John 15:18-21
“If the world hates you, realize that it hated me first.
If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own; but because you do not belong to the world, and I have chosen you out of the world, the world hates you.
Remember the word I spoke to you, ‘No slave is greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.
And they will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they do not know the one who sent me.
Amen, May Our Lord and God Jesus Christ Bless us all who stand strong in Our Faith in Christ throughout the world Amen. In The Name of The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit The Only One True God as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be world without end Amen ❤❤❤❤
If this presents as biased to you, you’re possibly godless, which is the worst bias.
Just another example of greed.
Blessed are the poor.
God was in total control of this all.
God have mercy on us all.
Sancta Maria ora pro nobis.
Where is part 2?
Looking forward to the synod of synodoloty..,
French bureaucrats called leaches of the poor . Limited government is why America was so successful compared to any other place in the world at that time.
Thomas sowell said Americans at that time actually had an "overproduction" problem, that's seems like a better problem then we dont have any production lol
Limited government is a despicable canard established by anti Catholic English Whigs that justifies the oligarchy that existed in England and now in other English speaking countries.
@@lordnorthumberland277 Socialism is the great canard as Orwell said 'it cares more about preserving its ideology than it does about people'
@@raygon8 In what way does opposition to laissez faire, liberal capitalism (the French physiocrat sponsors of which supported the French Revolution) qualify automatically as defense of socialism? Only a dimwit would trap themselves into a ridiculous dichotomy. It's just as absurd as saying one has to choose between democracy or totalitarianism.
@@lordnorthumberland277 Democrats are too dumb to realize they are Communist
Despite his nervousness the lecturer seems very knowledgeable and this should have been a very informative lecture but his personal prejudices and bias made it a little hard to take or trust.
There is no such thing as "neutrality"
I cant believe Im hearing a clergy, nobility and monarchy revanchist but here we are.
I can’t believe that you think that the French Revolution was not evil.
Democracies are unsustainable because people are weak and easily spooked like herd animals; oligarchies are strong because they are based initially on competence; and monarchies will always represent a majority of human governance because only a monarch can crush the rebellious peasants and the conniving oligarchs.
Are you vaxxed?
"One can only describe it as a war against God"
Maybe God should have shared a little of the wealth instead of watching the people starve.
I find it difficult to believe that the Jesus I've read about would have advocated the clergy being in the 1st Estate, watching the population in the 3rd Estate die of starvation.
"The people" were mostly devout and, according to the cahiers de doléances, supported the monarchy.
The war against God was the business of people like Voltaire who was utterly contemptuous of "the people".
It is always a mistake in talking of Christianity to refer only to the clergy. The religious orders, dedicated to the welfare and education of the poor have been largely forgotten. It's a pity.
This was not the people's revolution. This was a bunch of anti-Christian elites who already had things pretty good who wanted to kill a king and destroy the church. Those taxes people rebelled over were only imposed on the rich; the "enlightened" (how I hate that term) aristocrats lied to them. In the process, they stopped a compassionate but flawed and limited king from enacting real reforms, and provided a beginning to the political moral and spiritual ills of the modern world; in the words of Erik Von Kuehnehlt-Leddinh, "For the average person, all problems date to World War II; for the more informed, to World War I; for the genuine historian, to the French Revolution.
See these videos on some of the myths and propaganda people have been taught about this supposedly wonderful moment of humanist triumph, which in reality was the enemy of everything that makes us human. They've also done some good ones on the Russian Revolution, which in reality is the same struggle. Here they are:

twidili dee Nothing like a “Four Last Things” series of sermons to keep an abused populace tolerating the illegitimate rule by private families.
The piety of the poor is neither here nor there. We all already know about the Vendeens and it is a well known pattern that affluence inspires secularism. If the rich point the finger at the Church and the poor point the finger at the rich, I say that they are both right.
I have to add that this whole situation was guaranteed by the 1st and 2nd Estates’ continual carving up of the nation. You can’t hold unquestioned power for a millennia and expect things to go well once you “charitably” choose to loosen the reigns. The whole situation was illegitimate and guaranteed corruption. You can’t make it acceptable simply by making it slightly less brutal and explicitly predatory.
Well said 👏
@@bluesaberproductions8991 the industrial revolution was really where it all started
There was nothing remotely legitimate about the french aristocracy. There was no reform that could’ve made their reign acceptable. With that said, the financial problems of france were inexorably linked to the subordination of a nation’s efforts to the vanities of a handful of indolent freeloaders.
I find attempts to rehabilitate these subhumans appalling. To even wax nostalgic is reprehensible.
Capital F!
The French aristocracy was legitimate. However, many of them were the ones behind the Revolution.
Your opinion is powerless; you still give your money to aristocrats because you can never be one of them nor can you stop them.
This is the most patronising and biased lecture I've ever heard, and every "joke" made me more and more uncomfortable. As another commenter said, it's hard to take any informational value from even a well-researched speech when your prejudices are so blatant.
So you're a butt-hurt corrupt freemason.
Factual. Corruption in every corner of the country.
Freemasons victory. Remove God and destroy his Church/ Vatican II did that.
I would feel the same if a liberal and masonic lecturer were to give a talk about the French Revolution.
@@violetd3487"freedom is good, or else u r a fascist"
@tamakyuart you're disturbing
Not the best presentation on this subject.
It is quite a good presentation.
