Paris will be destroyed twice — first by revolution from within, then by war from without. The city will be reduced to ruins. The revolutionaries will burn what the enemy spares, and the enemy will destroy what the revolutionaries leave standing.

The Holy Father will be forced to abandon Rome. He will flee in disguise, hunted by his enemies. He will wander from country to country, suffering greatly. Many will not know whether a true Pope still reigns. But God will protect him and eventually restore him to the See of Peter.

After the great destruction, a monarch sent by God will restore France and the Church. He will come when no one expects him. His reign will be long and glorious, and under his rule France will once again become the light of the world.
