Accurately foresaw the total suppression of the Jesuits, but said this would not be permanent: “Abbé d’Aviau” would contribute to their restoration and be archbishop of a great city, favoring the Jesuits’ return.

Saw new troubles in France after an initial “plaster” respite from revolution; a hated usurper Orleans would rule, France rises in civil war—two parties, party of order minority will triumph after horrible suffering and moment of apparent defeat.
Predicted catastrophe, including Paris destroyed, great bloodshed in north/south cities mainly, Church persecuted, clergy in hiding, but after “short and horrible” period, divine intervention saves everything at the moment all seems lost. West Brittany/Vendée preserved for its faith; France helps restore England to peace after its own terrible revolution.
After crisis, a general council is held, resistance among clergy overcome, and a time of “one flock, one shepherd” is realized—universal conversion, Christian unity, Church triumph will last until the coming of Antichrist.
Predicted a revolution not confined to France in which Paris would be destroyed so thoroughly that decades later children would ask, “What was here?” and be told: “Once a great city God destroyed for its crimes.” After this, order and justice would return, accomplished by a true counter-revolution and Church triumph.
