À propos de cet audio

Over 40,000 Frenchmen were executed for holding fast to the Catholic Faith and objecting to the worst excesses of the Committee of Public Safety. The bloodlust of the time staggers the imagination, and the campaign against the Church was as diabolical as it was cruel.

Carroll captures the brutality of the period, but also the action of grace in the heroism of the Church, the saintliness of her martyrs and the dramatic conversion of Danton—an erstwhile leader of the uprising who landed in a death-battle with the forces he helped put in motion.

Echoes of the French Revolution sounded in the totalitarian movements of the twentieth century, and they can still be heard in the politics of today. The Guillotine and the Cross is as timely now as when it was written.
