It may not be as much as you or I would like but, compared to others, they are at least doing something. It is unfortunate if that is not being passed on to the next generation.<br /><br />As for the Pope, I would have thought my views obvious from past postings but suffice it to say that I am not terribly impressed. You can check the archives to verify this but, while somewhat skeptical, I tried my best to give him the benefit of the doubt and hope for the best, however, he seems to have his priorities completely backwards to me, scolding his most devout while embracing the most destructive. I'm also afraid his grand, public demonstrations of "humility" have ruined any chance of the papacy returning to its traditional, more monarchical grandeur and authority.MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-77559221380736486962017-03-11T03:28:00.293-06:002017-03-11T03:28:00.293-06:00"

Sadly, it is the truth. Our history, in general, is either highly avoided by the school system or simply changed and manipulated to serve our socialist government. I have a flag of the Empire in my house and you would be amazed the amount of people (we're talking adults here, who have, for the most part, finished school) either mistake this flag for some other flag or outright have not idea where it's from. <br />I wish I could blame our current socialist government for that, but I can't. Every government that came after the Empire, with no exceptions whatsoever tried, in one way or another, to simply erase the history of the Empire. <br /><br />But as with most things in life, there are, on the very least, two sides to the story and this is not different. We have to main problems: the Brazilian monarchists and the Brazilian Imperial Family. Starting with the monarchists, most that I have met are highly ignorant regarding the history of the monarchy (as an institution, not particularly the Brazilian monarchy), politics and history in general thus making them highly incompetent in both defending the monarchy and teaching about it. Which in turn leads to more misinformation about the monarchy and lack of popular support.<br /><br />Now, for the second problem, the Brazilian Imperial Family. Don't get me wrong, I love and admire our Princes and would serve them without thinking twice if they needed my services. However, they seem to lack the interest in the Crown which sadly makes the monarchist movement pointless, on the very least. What is the point of having a monarchist movement if the Princes themselves, who were supposed to rule the country, are barely interested in the Crown? I say this with sadness, but with each year I lose faith in our Empire (though I have not lost faith in the monarchy), both our elders Princes, His Imperial Majesty Luís Gastão de Orléans e Bragança and His brother His Imperial Majesty Bertrand Maria José de Orléans e Bragança are very old men and I fear that once they are gone the Imperial family will, indeed, be erased from the history of the Brazilian nation as most of the younger princes (and princesses, too) show little to no interest in official matters and have not been raised in royal fashion, or so that would appear. Once they are gone I feel that our Imperial Family will die with them as neither of them have children of their own.<br /><br />Now, changing the subject a little. MM, what do you think about our current Pope? I would love to hear your thoughts on Him. While I know that it is not for him to judge the Pontiff's decisions I should say that I find him quite anti-Catholic, to say the least. Many of His comments and positions seem quite similar to those of our enemies and while He instructs the European Catholics to "love" and "accept" the Muslims (and atheists), he seems to say awfully little about the Christians in the Middle-East that have been persecuted by either ISIS or Muslims in general.<br /><br /><br />Kind regards,<br /><br />LAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-32105579982231053592017-03-10T21:40:16.602-06:002017-03-10T21:40:16.602-06:00Anton Bakov seems to be an odd character to say th...Anton Bakov seems to be an odd character to say the leastCharleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12031973472077814562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-11181268208637401872017-03-10T12:53:01.563-06:002017-03-10T12:53:01.563-06:00You understand the reality of Brazil more than any...You understand the reality of Brazil more than any current elected politician or protester. The country is lost, tired of the morally bankrupt ruling class, seeking something different, but seem drawn only towards messianic leftist leaders, instead of our rightful De Jure Emperor.<br /><br />Changing the topic here: How do you feel about Anton Bakov's Imperial Throne Microstate, that has Prince Karl Emich as Emperor Nicholas III?Octavio V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01499690181438513200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-35866605429462463262017-03-09T21:24:51.553-06:002017-03-09T21:24:51.553-06:00Prince Luiz is head of the Imperial Family, Prince...Prince Luiz is head of the Imperial Family, Prince Bertrand and Prince Antonio are both his younger brothers. Prince Bertrand is second to Prince Luiz and is his heir. Prince Pedro Carlos is a nominal rival claimant but he is a republican. His claim comes from the fact that he is senior in the family but his grandfather renounced his claim to the throne, which is why most do not recognize him. Of course, there will always be some who insist that the renunciation was invalid, that you cannot renounce your rights to a throne, and so they insist that Prince Pedro is the rightful claimant. He doesn't have much of a following (he is not trying to have one really) and is not recognized by anyone I know as the real heir.<br /><br />One thing you have to keep in mind, as just an unfortunate fact of life, is that if you look hard enough you can find someone disputing the succession of every monarchy and former monarchy in Europe. Spain, France, Britain, Italy, Germany, Russia, Romania, etc. At this point, you can always find someone somewhere who will dispute any monarch or would-be monarch in the western world. It's sad but that's just the way it is.MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-52197284363938276692017-03-09T18:49:00.103-06:002017-03-09T18:49:00.103-06:00Hi.

I just researched His Imperial Highness Prince Bertrand and while researching I came across two other people Prince Luiz who is said to be the head of the family and de jure emperor. I have also found Prince Antonio who also seems to be seeking the crown. Please explain what's going on and who legally has right to the throne?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16232158771458006025noreply@blogger.com
