Entry: America: An Empire? Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/america_an_empire#12773 Post contents: Mr. Coulombe wrote "Heavily damaged by the Protestant revolt, this idea nevertheless survived until 1806, when the last crowned Holy Roman Emperor abdicated. Having already proclaimed himself Emperor of Austria, he thus ensured that something survived in the Habsburg Monarchy. Its last ghost was not banished until the deposition of Bl. Charles I in 1918." Very important to note this history of the translatio imperii of the Holy Roman Empire to the Habsburgs in 1804 or 1806. Because of the deposition of Bl. Charles I in 1918 the Holy Roman empire has now been in a 100 year Abeyance. Translatio imperii is a very important “doctrine” of the history of the Holy Roman Empire. Sent at: 2009 01 07
