Joseph was the father of Josephinism, which is nothing else than the highest development of the craving common among secular princes after an episcopal and territorial church. www.newadvent.org /cathen/08508b.htm   (3148 words)

In Honor of Franz Joseph by Carlo Stagnaro Significantly enough, Franz Joseph was always opposed to the anti-semitic movement of Karl Lueger, the Christian-Socials: "any anti-semitic movement should be halted at its birth." He repeatedly vetoed Lueger’s election as Mayor of Vienna, showing how the "absolute" power of the Emperor was less absolute, and far less dangerous than the power of democratic bodies. The merit of Franz Joseph, then, was that he understood the importance of and was able to manage such a pluralistic organization.

H-Net Review: Daniel Unowsky on Francis Joseph Beller does not praise Franz Joseph for his flexibility and willingness to curb his own power, though this seeming flexibility is rather astounding for a dedicated absolutist and scion of a family claiming descent not only from Carolingian and Roman emperors, but from the House of David itself. For Beller, Franz Joseph's monarchy was no idyllic paradise of multi-national peace before the barbarians destroyed Eden and began their campaigns of ethnic cleansing unencumbered by the power of the benevolent ruler. The very moves Franz Joseph made to preserve the honor of his dynasty, culminating in the declaration of war in 1914, undermined the effectiveness of the army and led to total dependence on the Germans during t he war. www.h-net.msu.edu /reviews/showrev.cgi?path=14666858516141   (2320 words)
