"It is under the inspiration of those diabolical laws of Rome, that 75,000 Protestants were massacred, the night and following of St. Bartholomew."
Charles Chiniquy, 1886

"In France the Protestants, called "Huguenots," were gaining wealth and political power. Admiral Gaspard de Coligny was their leader. The Jesuits with that she-wolf, Catherine de Medici, [ Catholic ] Queen Regent of France, plotted their destruction. On August 24, 1572 the murderous frenzy began. Admiral Coligny bravely resisted his assassins but to no avail. He was murdered and his head was sent as a trophy to the [ Roman Catholic ] Cardinal of Lorraine who had been educated, or rather brainwashed, by the Jesuits in Flanders. Rome celebrated, struck a coin commemorating the "great victory" and sang her "Te Deums."

The famous painting of the Saint Bartholomew's Day massacre in Paris on 24 August 1572 depicts scenes from the most notorious incident in the French wars of religion and one of the most striking examples of the extremes of religious intolerance in the age. The Huguenot (French Calvinist) painter, François Dubois is reputed to have been an eyewitness to the massacre of thousands of his fellow Huguenots on the streets of Paris.
