The analysis and commentaries we in this video were given to us by the illustrious Catholic thinker, Professor Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira. He made these remarks upon learning that Saint John Bosco attempted to intervene in the world political climate that was ruining Europe by destroying the vestiges of relationships between Catholic countries. Had Franz Joseph followed the advice of this great saint, history would have been completely different.

Here’s the full text of St. John Bosco’s letter:

“Letter from Don Bosco to Franz Joseph, May 14, 1873

This is what the Lord says to the Emperor of Austria:

Take heart! Provide for my faithful servants and yourself!

My fury is poured out over all the nations of the earth because you want to make them forget my law, to bring those who profane it into triumph and to oppress those who observe it.

Wilt thou be the rod of my power?

Wilt thou fulfill my arcane wills and become a benefactor of the world?

Lean on the powers of the North, but not on Prussia.

Make relations with Russia, but no alliance.

Associate with France, after France, you will have Spain.

Make one Spirit and one action.

You must have the utmost secrecy with the enemies of my Holy Name. With prudence and energy, you will become invincible.

Do not believe the lies of those who would tell you otherwise.

Abhor the enemies of the Crucified One.

Hope and trust in Me, Who am the Giver of victories to armies, the Savior of peoples and Sovereigns. Amen. Amen.”

Suffice it to say that the correspondence of one person can change the course of history in radically good ways; we can also say that the lack of correspondence can change them in the opposite direction.
