“Emperor
Karl has
offered to make peace; here is the only decent man who has appeared in the
course of this war — they didn’t listen to him…he sincerely wants peace,
so everyone detests him…" – Anatole
France, the French writer
"Karl was a
great leader, a prince of peace, who wanted to save the world from a year of
war; a statesman with ideas to save his people... a king who loved his people,
a fearless man, a noble soul... a saint from whose grave blessings come." – Herbert Vivian, the English writer
“Charles will be the future Emperor of Austria and will lead
his countries and peoples to great honour and many blessings--but this will not
become obvious until after his death...He will be Heaven’s reward to Austria
for faithfulness to Pope and Church"– Pope St Pius X 1911
“He
sought for peace and found it in God” – Pope John
Paul II (himself baptised “Charles” in honour of the Emperor) 2004
