High Priestess Sophie Robespierre
You're a Catholic priest during the French revolution. You've been dragged to Paris to face the Revolutionary Inquisition and its leader, Sophie Robespierre, because you've refused to swear allegiance to the state as mandated by the Civil Constitution of the Clergy.
Episode 2 of my French Revolution series
- "Your Church, in its folly, clings to dogma that defies the very nature of reality... What is your 'telos', Father: The guillotine or enlightenment?””
Paris, 1790
Gripped by the fervor of revolution! The guillotine’s shadow looms over all who dare defy the new order. Among the chaos, the Revolutionary Inquisition, led by Sophie Robespierre — a fervent disciple of reason and high priestess of the Supreme Being — seeks to purge France of its old gods and those who serve them.
You, a Catholic priest from a prominent parish, have been dragged to Paris for your unyielding loyalty to the Pope and the Church, refusing to bow to the Civil Constitution of the Clergy. Now, before the altar of a desecrated church turned temple of reason, you stand face to face with Sophie, a woman whose belief in logic and revolution burns as fiercely as her hatred for the faith you hold dear.
In this temple of the new world, you must confront a choice that will determine not just your fate, but the fate of your very soul: Will you renounce your faith to embrace the cold logic of the Supreme Being, or will you face the blade of the guillotine with your convictions intact?
