Ok, so I am going to admit that before I joined this forum I had never heard the words "The Great Monarch Prophecy" before. I asked an online friend about it who attends FSSP mass in Oklahoma(but used to attend SSPX mass when he lived in Houston, Texas) and he gave me a little bit of information at least enough to know that the people here were talking about a legitamate prophecy.
So I started casually mentioning this at dinner parties when one of my friends who runs the bookstore at our chapel, and has been SSPX all his life I believe, and who has a VAST library, told me he'd give me a book with information on it.
The book is called "Phophecy for Today" and appears to have an intial copyright of 1956 and an updated one in the 1980's and reprinted by TAN in the 80's.
It has more prophecies but I was intrigued by the talks here of the great monarch and thusly turned immediately to that page. I have read the whole section now.
So I thought maybe we could have a discussion on this topic.
I'll begin by putting up some of the prophecies from the book on here.
Saint Hippolytus(Died 235): "The Great French Monarch who shall subject all the east shall come around the end of the world."
Saint Cataldus of Tarentino (c. 500): "The Great Monarch will be in war till he is forty years of age; a king of the House of Lily, he will assemble great armies and expel tyrants from his empire. He will conquer England and other island empires. Greece he will invade and be made a king thereof. Clochis, Cyprus, the Turks and barbarians he will subdue and have all men to worship the Crucified One. He will at length lay down his crown in Jerusalem."
Saint Caesar of Arles (469-543): "When the entire world, and in a special manner France, and in France more particularly the provinces of the north, of the eastm and above all that of Lorraine and Champagne, shall have been a prey to the greatest miseries and trials, then the provinces shall be succored by a prince who had been exiled in his youth, and who shall recover the crown of the lilies.
"This Prince shall extend his dominion over the entire universe. At the same time there will be a Great Pope, who will be most eminent in sanctity and most perfect in every quality. This Pope shall have with him the Great Monarch, a most virtuous man who shall be a scion of the holy race of the French Kings. This Great Monarch will assist the Pope in the reformation of the whole earth. Many princes and nations that are living in error and impiety shall be converted, and an admirable peace shall reign among men during manyyears because the wrath of God shall be appeased throgh repentance, penance and good works. There will be one common law, one only faith, one baptism, one religion. All nations shall recognize the Holy See of Rome, and shall pay homage to the Pope. But after some considerable time fervor shall cool, iniquity shall abound , and moral corruption shall become worse than ever, which shall bring upon mankind the last and worst persecution of Antichrist and the end of the world."
Ok I was typing that whole thing out, I have no digital copy to copy/paste from. And I'm tired. I'll add a few more later. In the mean time does anyone else have anything on the Great Monarch? Do most trads believe in it? I personally do.
