150th ANNIVERSARY OF PHILIPPE PÉTAIN--MARSHAL OF FRANCE--LEGITIMATE HEAD OF STATE

Le Marechal's 150th birthday was on 24 April. This is an article from the CRC Newsletter, edited by l'Abbe Georges de Nantes. I would point out that le Marechal was by no stretch of the imagination a good Catholic. He only married his mistress of many years when he was appointed Ambassador to Gral. Franco's government, in order to avoid embarrassing the devout Franco, but he was a brave and valiant soldier, an example par excellence of all that is great in France and a courageous fighter for all that the Church held dear before the debacle of Vatican II. Let us pray for his soul and for the return of his remains to lie amongst his beloved poilus at Verdun. Let us hold him as a model in temporal matters, if not in religious ones!

I also have a site Justice pour Petain at Tripod and a group at Yahoo dedicated to the translation of his remains to lie with his beloved poilus in the cemetery in Verdun.
