Old Prophecy revisited in light of recent developments in France: "Paris will burn and Marseille will be engulfed."

During the famous apparitions of Mary on a mountaintop in LaSalette, France, in 1846, a secret was given to Melanie Mathieu, one of the two seers, that included these words: "Paris will burn and Marseille will be engulfed."

An alleged seer named Jane Le Royer - who died in 1798, at the end of the French Revolution, said:

"The thick vapors which I have seen rising from the earth, and obscuring the light of the sun, are the false maxims of irreligion and of license (falsely called liberty) [liberalism], which in part originated in France, and in part came to us from abroad. These have succeeded in confounding all sound principles, and in spreading everywhere such darkness as to obscure the light both of faith and of reason. The storm began in France, which shall be the first theatre of its ravages, after having been its forge."

A Sister Marianne who died in 1804 saw "great tribulations in many large cities of France" and "a horrible massacre in the capitol, namely, Paris."

"When everyone believes that peace is assured, when everyone least expects it...revolution will break out in Italy almost at the same time as in France:" - Ecstatic of Tours

"France shall fall into a frightful anarchy. The French shall have a desperate civil war during the course of which even old men will take up arms." - Blessed Anna Maria Taigi

Another approved prophet, Fr. Nectou, prophesied about a future civil war in France. He was not prophesying the late 18th century 'French Revolution', because he speaks of the total destruction of Paris, which has not yet happened, and he speaks of it being a general condition not confined to France:

"During this Revolution, which will very likely be general and not confined to France, Paris will be destroyed…"

There are numerous other approved Catholic prophets describing the same thing. This entire scenario will take civil authorities by surprise, certainly as to the speed with which things develop. The Vatican will be one of the few authorities that will not be surprised. This will be largely due to the fact that there are a number of orthodox men in the Vatican who are very knowledgeable about Catholic Church approved prophecies

The civil war in both France and Italy will take on a specifically anti-Catholic animus. This civil war in France will develop basically into a general war between Catholics (and a few allies) and the anti-Christian forces (particularly in France) which have been running those countries for centuries. That ruling pattern began with the French Revolution in France. It began with Garibaldi in Italy.

The Catholics will be on the verge of being wiped out in France, when, a great military Catholic leader will come to the fore in France. (The prophecies lead me to believe that by this point, the Catholics and Protestants are fighting on the same [Christian] side against anti-Christian forces.)
