By David Carlin, The Catholic Thing - When a great revolution takes place, there will be the makings of a counter-revolution. For there will always be many people who dislike the revolution, even hate it with a passion... When the great French Revolution took place, it was hated by many people, e.g., most of the nobility and all ardent Catholics (most French Catholics then, like most American Catholics today, were not awfully ardent). When the Bolshevik Revolution took place, many people living in the immense Russian Empire hated it. When the Nazi Revolution took place in Germany, many Germans hated it.
