On the subject of Maurras and l'Action Française I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, Maurass's analysis of the evils of jacobin democracy is spot on. I, obviously, do not agree with his positivist philosophy, but it led him to correct conclusions on the questions of government and politics. On the other hand, Maurras was a supporter of the Freemasonic, revolutionary, usurping House of Orleans. Action Française and Nouvelle Action Royaliste, the result of a 'schism' in 1971, continue that support. I cannot understand the cognitive dissonance that could lead counter-revolutionaries to support a House which owes it's claim to the throne to the Revolution!

Chevalier Charles Coulombe on Action Française
The Chevalier does make one small error. L'Action Française was not founded by Maurras. It was founded by Maurice Pujo and Henri Vaugeois, tho' Maurras did join shortly after its founding.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
