In wondering whether Ghislaine was a Jewess to begin with, I looked up her mother, Elisabeth Maxwell, and found this regarding Ghislaine's maternal grandparents::

Paul Meynard was a descendant of Protestant Huguenot aristocracy whose distant lineage included kings of France, while Colombe Meynard was a Roman Catholic whose marriage to a Protestant resulted in her excommunication. Her father Paul owned a silk-weaving factory and was the mayor of the village.

I found this passage notable for a couple of reasons, but both are consistent with Ghislaine being another Simulant. That being the case, nothing about her life should be taken at face value or as "something they wouldn't lie about".

First, for centuries, Jews have been extremely heavily tied up in the textile and related industries like clothing. I think Paul may have been a Jew and not a Protestant as they tell us.

Second, excommunication is as serious a punishment as the Church can deal out in the modern world, and there's nothing whatsoever about "marrying a Protestant" in the very long list of excommunicable offences in the Catholic Church.

Even as it stands today, the big restriction is that to be married by a priest in a Catholic church, both bride and groom must be Catholic. I suppose we have to add that one must be male and the other female. By birth. Thus, I don't believe this "excommunication" nonsense.

So what does this latest "news" mean? Fuck if I know.
