Hello
I’m asking but how did the Church view these revolutions: The July Revolution, Haitan Revolution and Latin American revolutins. I realize the Church probably wont have an official view but are there statements from local Bishops on these things.

Also like how Denzinger has a collection of the statements of the Church which Catholics are bound to believe is there any book with a list of decrees from regional councils and synods (preferrably with notes to say if what the regional council declares goes against the teaching of the Church).

Thank You

God Bless
 
In the case of the July affair, the Bourbons had made themselves honorary puppets of the English/Prussians and had to be overthrown for the good of France.
 
Bolivar was hero as was Bernardo O’Higgins.

Reagan was a traitor to the United States for violating the Monroe Doctrine and aiding and abetting English imperialistic attacks on Argentina.
 
Yes but how did the Church view them, by this I mean were there any statements by local bishops

Thank You

God Bless
 
Im interested in hearing any responses to this too, I was in another thread on here regarding the american revolution and I still wonder how the church really viewed this whole thing, it seems the ‘give unto Caesar’ mindset could have justified full submission to England, no matter what they were asking.

No he wasn’t the Monroe Doctrine was about making European actions within our hemisphere in line with our interests. Preventing Argentina from annexing the Falkland Islands that had overwhelmingly voted to stay within the Commonwealth, which had been occupied in an unprovoked act of aggression, was in our interest. The Falkland War was started to distract the Argentinian public from the ineptitude of their government, didn’t turn out so well though they lost to a nation thousands of miles away…kinda pathetic.

That’d be odd considering their chummy relationship with the Confederacy during the war of Southern aggression.

Wouldn’t the Church view revolutions as they would regular war? That being just and unjust?

The number of Catholic in America at the time was very small. Its largely irrelevant.
