The Sacred Heart and The Revolution

Today I read somewhere an unsourced claim that blame for the French Revolution lies in the failure of the kings of France to fulfill a request of the Lord to consecrate France to His Sacred Heart. Does anybody know anything about this, and whether or not it derives from some approved source or apparition?

This is not the sort of thing we were taught in 'Church History III.'

    Apparently the king made a promise to consecrate France to the Sacred Heart.

Faithful, or even just thoughtful criticisms are always welcome. Uninformed rudeness to other posters or to the Lord and His Church is not.

I also reserve the right to reject comments promoting things like private revelations and fringe points of view, if it seems to me like they are being presented in a misleading way.

If you raise a disagreement with something I say but I do not respond, please do not feel slighted or insulted, or imagine that this automatically means I disagree or agree with you. It's just that I don't find the comment box to be a constructive medium for certain forms of debate.
