We have now read six of this author's books, the five volumes extant of his history of Christendom and his "Guillotine and the Cross". This reading evoked the necessity to learn more about the author, as his presentation of history is quite strange for one who professes to be a Catholic. Our research has revealed the key to the mystery, of which, more later.
In this, the fifth, and probably last volume of his history, Carroll begins with a startlingly unique presentation on the reign of Louis XIV. Carroll goes so far as to suggest that novelist Alexander Dumas may have been right about Louis XIV and the "man in the iron mask". This is the sort of historical writing that would make the Disney Channel proud. But it really does not belong in a serious account. He goes on to wonder as to why it was that Louis XIV gave aid and shelter to the deposed James II of England. This episode is a mystery to "historian" Carroll. I can help you out with this one, Warren. Louis XIV and James II were first cousins. There you go!
Next, Carroll deals with the completely absurd episode of "Bonnie Prince Charlie" and his laughable attempt to regain the throne of England. The attempt went nowhere, and, as above, this bit of trivia would hardly seem to be worthy of an entire chapter in a history of Christendom, particularly a chapter entitled "The Last Knight of Christendom". The "Bonnie Prince" lived out his life in unspeakable sin and filth, hardly a fitting end for Christendom's "last knight". Why then, is this included so prominently in Carroll's account? Here's another hint. The "Bonnie Prince" was also Grand Master of the Knights Templar.
Carroll basically lifts the next large section of his book entirely from the aforementioned "Guillotine and the Cross". If you intend to buy the latter book and have already purchased this one, save your money. Virtually all of the latter is contained in this book, word for word. Reading this over, I was once again shocked at the lavish encomiums the author heaps upon the butcher Danton. Even more startingly is that Carroll leaves his previous writing as is, letting the reader know that twenty years of additonal time and study have still not revealed to him the masonic nature of the French Revolution. Could there be a pattern here?
The book ends with Carroll's comic book rendition of the career of Napoleon. In this, old Warren lets us know that jolly old England actually saved Christendom from this beast. Now, this is the same jolly old England which had brutally suppressed Catholicism. But, never mind. Dr. Carroll has a story to tell and can't be bothered with the facts. This brings to mind the admonition of Saint James that the "double-minded man is unstable in all his ways".
So, we promised at the start of this to reveal the secret to Warren's rather strange presentation of history. And here it is. Warren, it seems, supports the hideous Knights Templar masonic conspiracy. This is manifested in the blood red blunted cross of the Templars that adorns the cover of each of his volumes. More importantly, it is reflected in his strange masonic and truly anti-Catholic presentation of history. The most apt title for this, presumably the last of his histories, is "Carroll Against Christendom".
