"The Grand Monarch will do things so astonishing and so marvelous that the most unbelieving will be forced to recognize the finger of God. In his reign all justice will be rendered.

 

"God will use the Grand Monarch in order to exterminate all heretical sects, all the superstitions, and to spread, in concert with the holy Pontiff, the Catholic religion in all the universe, except in Palestine, land of malediction." (Prophecies from Abbe Souffrant, the Cure of Maumusson, d. 1828, on the Great Catholic Monarch)
