Today it was a frightening day. I had a hard 2 weeks trip to the pope in the Vatican. On the way I had to see all poor people who had no food because of the high taxes and the expensive food, but it never mind me. I was ordered to him because of the movement of the Enlightenment and the Revolution in French and to debate how the church could get the power and the trust of the people back in France. When I arrived, I had a warm reception, with a short breakfast. Then, with a full storage we had an assembly with many cardinals of French and other countries of Europe. We noticed that the revolution is at the door of French and many people lost the trust into the church because the philosoph's spread out their new discoveries in science and ideas of the Enlightment out in Europe. Therefore we decided that we will eliminate them, whether through prison or pains that they won't talk about this theme anymore. After the discussion we had some answers how to get clean out of this disaster. My idea was, that I want to make a church service to get back the people who came to the church normally. Now I will have a great dinner with all Cardinals in the pope's hall I hope it's good I deserved me a good meal.

It was great, it tasted sooo good. And it was so interesting to interchange our minds the 3rd estate. This dirty crowd should not be allowed to go to the church because of their bad fashion. We only need them to hold our standard of living. Now I will prepare me for the travel home because tomorrow I have to leave. It will be hard work at French to get our follower's back; but I can do it.

Good Night!

Today it was a funny day. I had a visit of a good friend of mine Bishop Artur came for lunch in my home. It would be a perfect day if the Bastille had not been stormed by the mob and now the National Assembly took over the control off the government. That is a very bad thing because now the church has no power in the government because they were kicked out of it. Artur had a mind about the Revolution, but now we have to dim our expenditure and our standard of live is going down. I hope I can help Louis back on the throne. Those were better times. At least it was great to eat with the Bishop but I think there is a secret between Mary du Champagne and him, but I hope I am not. Then I had to right some letters to the King. I want to get him the power back, I think I will play with my connections and help Louis XIV back on the throne. It is dangerous when I am going to be caught but I have to try.

Good night!!

I could not write in you because I had many troubles. My letters were read by some traitors. They told our guards and I was brought to the prison where I were arrested for a long time. I don't know the right date because...I write more about that later. So I was in the prison got bred and water. It was very hard because you had hunger every time. I had much time to think about the Revolution and asked some prisoners why they are there. They answered; they only wanted to say what is in their mind about the Enlightment and the Revolution. Others stole food because they were hungry. I had a bad conscience but I was bound on the rules of the 3 estates, do not note them. Then without the word of a Judge I was took to the guillotine. My luck was that Artur could rescue me right in front of it. I cannot explain how they did it because everything was so fast. The brought me to my own home. I got news, that many people of the church, who wanted to help Louis XIV, were executed and I cannot hide me by them. So it is too dangerous to stay in French. I hear there were 18000 people executed. I took everything what is important with me and went to the place where I am now. It is in the forest on the way to the border of French, in other countries like Germany where I had a chance to survive. Now I have a break because hiked a so long distance and I can't walk anymore. It was a hard day and I hope I will survive longer. Now I am going to sleep.

Good Night!!

Diary Entree 4

I like Pater Walter more and more from day to day. He helped me to escape and hided me. He is a soul brother of mine and a very friendly person.

I think I will go back to French because the Revolution has ended and Napoleon Bonaparte claimed the power for himself and now there is again a absolutist at the top of the government. But I am not sure that I am welcome back in my home country. I will ask friends who left in French how the atmosphere is. I think the Revolution did brought anything only many killed people and a new absolutist. But it never minds me because it is better to have a good one who has the whole power under him. I hope the church can get his power back that I doesns not have to hide me anymore.
