This book expresses support for the Catholic sainthood of Blessed Karl, Austria's last emperor, while presenting a firm stance against monarchy and Christian fundamentalism. Contrary to some advocates for Karl's cause, the author is a believer in democracy and a critic of the House of Habsburg. She promotes Karl's sainthood due to her strong convictions about Karl's heroism as a husband, father, soldier, leader and peacemaker. Some subjects discussed include: - Why canonize anybody? - Misrepresentations of Karl: A Growing Problem - An Anti-Monarchist's Case for Karl - Karl and Pope Francis - An Advocate for Cultural and Religious Tolerance - The "Peace Ruler" The book is not a biography, but a collection of personal reflections and insights advancing the opinion that Karl, if he were made an "official saint," would be a positive influence for people of all walks of life in the world today. The author also discusses Karl's influence in her own life as a role model and the story of how she got to be named after Karl's wife, Empress Zita.
