Here's a sneak peek into Dominique Tassot's CESHE:

The CESHE endeavours to publish and make known the work of the scientist Fernand Crombette (1880-1970) who, under the pseudonym " a French catholic ", threw a light on many fields of knowledge, espcially on Geography, History of Egypt, ancient Chronology, Astronomy and Exegesis.

The CESHE professes the scientific and historical innerence of the Bible, in relation in various countries with Associations which recognize the privileged place of the man and the Earth within Creation.

Here are a couple of hints of what Crombette (and his fan-club) have to tell us about ancient history and chronology:

The Exodus was indeed a fact of Egyptian history and it took place at the same time as the sinking of Atlantis mentioned by Plato in his Critias and as the voyage of the Argonauts told by Orpheus.l'Exode était bien un fait de l'histoire égyptienne et qu'il avait eu lieu en même temps que l'effondrement de l'Atlantide qu'évoque Platon dans son Critias et que le voyage des Argonautes raconté par Orphée.
Thanks to his method of deciphering by riddles, Crombette was able to show that the sons of Jacob, beginning with Joseph who was the master of the greatest empire of all time, dwelt 430 years in Egypt as St Paul says in the Acts of the Apostles.Crombette grâce à sa méthode de déchiffrement par rébus a pu montrer que les fils de Jacob, à commencer par Joseph qui fut le maître du plus grand empire de tous les temps, séjournèrent 430 ans en Egypte comme le dit Saint Paul dans les Actes des Apôtres.
more recent works like those of General de Nanteuil and Colonel de Montéty, one of whose studies will come out in the next number of Science and Faith, show that Our Lord was indeed born in the year 1, [so] we should situate the Exodus in 1222 BC. But this is only a detail.des travaux plus récents comme celui du Général de Nanteuil et celui du Colonel de Montéty dont une étude va paraitre dans le prochain Science et Foi, montrent que Notre-Seigneur est bien né en l'an 1, il faudrait placer l'année de l'Exode en 1222 avant Jésus-Christ. Mais ce n'est qu'un point de détail.

A bit of astronomy from CESHE:

In astronomy Fernand Crombette, basing his work on his translation of Genesis from ancient Coptic, questioned heliocentrism, and proposed a geocentric world system. Although such a hypothesis may make our contemporaries smile (ever since Galileo this business is settled, isn't it?), it can't be swept aside easily, because we do not know the true position of the Earth in the universe.En astronomie Fernand Crombette, s'appuyant sur sa traduction de la Genèse à partir du copte ancien, a remis en cause l'héliocentrisme, et proposé un système du monde géocentrique. Bien qu'une telle hypothèse puisse faire sourire nos contemporains (depuis Galilée l'affaire est réglée n'est-ce-pas?), elle ne peut être écartée d'un revers de main, car nous ne connaissons pas la véritable position de la Terre dans l'univers.

These quotes are from recent publications of members of this holy thonk tink. And these are the "Catholic intellectuals" who are reportedly influencing the Pope?

We have not yet seen how far the conservative revolution can go.

I'd be splitting my sides if it didn't appear that these creepy-crawlies from out of a time warp were in a position to influence the Pope.

Vatican Exorcist Says Hitler And Stalin Were "Possessed By The Devil"...

Well, I'd have thought that was fairly obvious.

What worries me is that Crombette's deciphering by riddles may have put him two or three years out in the exact date of the Flood, leading him to miscalculate the precise orbit of the Sun around the Earth.

Adolf Hitler and Russian leader Stalin

As far as I'm concerned Stalin (Jugashvili) didn't have a single drop of Russian blood (or any slavonic), being  Georgian. He used to be indeed a citizen of the Russian Empire for some time but so did many others, say, Karl Mannerheim and have you ever heard him called a Russian leader? Neither did i.

For some elderly citizens of modern Russia Soviets=Russia, the rest  will pull faces and think the thousandth time about those westerners as brainwashed and ignorant... and offensive (as if we didn't have enough russian villains - Ivan the Horrible etc)

The exorcist probably thinks Czars still rule Russia. He sounds like he missed most of the 19th and 20th centuries. In fact he sounds closer to the 16th C.
