His Imperial and Royal Majesty the late Karl I, Emperor of Austria and Apostolic King of Hungary, is to be beatified, thus saith Fr. Jim. Very appropriate, especially when one considers that the first of the Holy Roman Emperors, Charlemagne, is a beatus of the Church. Now it looks that the last of his successors (in a manner of speaking) will be raised to the glory of the altars as well. Plus, the iconographic combo platter of a totally sweet Austrian uniform and a halo will be pretty nifty. Vivat! Vivat! Vivat!
