Here is what I posted about General Franco a great while ago in a thread discussing Franco and other historical figures. It was in response to a great post authored by Cuthbert:
General Franco was a Catholic hero. If it weren't for him, the red beasts would've gone on with their extermination campaign & turned Spain into a Stalinist dictatorship. Why would you speak of him with such a deprecatory tone? I can only assume that it is because of the repressive measures that he took against the Judaeo-Masonic controlled communist filth. The worthless scuм that murdered priests & religious & faithful laymen, often after having subjected them to unspeakably horrific torture. What else could he have done with them? One doesn't attempt to reason with a rabid beast. One simply shoots it on sight. One doesn't say that a plague has rights, & therefore no quarantines or other preventative measures are to be taken to stop the contagion from spreading. If anything he should've shot more of the vile stinking rot than he did. As long as he lived he protected Spain from being infected by the agentur of International Judaeo-Masonry. It's too bad that there was no worthy successor to take his place & continue the fight against the filthiest, vilest, nauseating rot that has yet walked the face of the earth in the form of the aforementioned Judaeo-Masonry & its lackeys.
This is true, as attested by the Church herself.
Even the typical editions of the Missal duly approved by the Congregation of Sacred Rites for Spain allowed the Spanish hierarchy to pray for Franco with all the honor and pomp that was paid to the Christian Kings and Princes that reigned in happier ages.
For example, the Holy See allowed Spanish clerics to pray for Franco in place of the Holy Roman Emperor in the Admonitions and Prayers that follow the chanting of the Passion in Good Friday. This was continued even after the Restored Order of Holy Week omitted the prayer for the Holy Roman Emperor and replaced it with another prayer.
The following text is taken from
Nueva Semana Santa completísima para uso de los fieles (Texto latin-castellano) compiled by Rev. Fr. Baltasar del Castillo, published at Barcelona, Spain, by Editorial Vilamala in 1957, with an
Imprimatur by His Excellency Gregory, Archbishop of Barcelona (no date given).
Here is a rough translation of the text:
Let us pray for our Catholic Chieftain Francisco: that our Lord God may subject unto him all the barbaric nations (i.e., the puppets of Internationalist Marxists), unto our perpetual peace.
Oremus. --- ℣. Flectamus genua. ℟. Levate.
Almighty and everlasting God, in Whose hands are the all the powers and all the laws of kingdoms: do Thou graciously look upon the Spanish kingdom; that the heathen (i.e., the Internationalist Marxists) who trust in their own ferocity may be overcome by the power of Thy right hand. Through our Lord... ℟. Amen.
