French Jesuit priest from Poitiers who prophesied the French Revolution with remarkable accuracy nearly 20 years before it occurred. He predicted the suppression of the Jesuits, the confiscation of Church property, and the execution of the king. His prophecies were recorded by fellow Jesuits and preserved in French Catholic archives. He is considered one of the most credible prophets due to his verified fulfilled predictions.

After this, order and justice would return, accomplished by a true counter-revolution and Church triumph.
