La Catholique A song of the French Counter-Revolution In the face of the Godless and tyrannical French Revolution, the peasants of several sections of the French countryside rose up in defense of their God, their Church, their King and their way of life. This French Counter-Revolution, which had its inception in the Vendée, was a popular uprising led by such famous nobles as Henri de la Rochejaquelein and François de Charette. For years these French Catholics fought in the Vendée, achieving heroic victories and suffering terrible defeats. Finally most of the Vendée uprising would be bloodily suppressed, although Catholics would go on fighting guerilla wars elsewhere in France. This French Counter-Revolution produced countless martyrs for the Faith. La Catholique was a popular marching song of the French counter-revolutionaries.
