La Nouvelle Vendée

Who:

Inspired by the Holy Martyrs of the Vendée and the zealous faith of the Acadians, and in response to the request made to the King of France by Heaven through the visions of Ste. Marguerite-Marie Alacoque, La Nouvelle Vendée—that is, the current form of the Catholic counter-Revolution—unites under the auspices of the Sacred Heart of Jesus those who desire the submission of the civil society of Louisiana to the rule of Christ the King.

Why:

Lacking in orthodox religious formation, many Louisiana Catholics are derelict in their duties to the Church, their families, and society. 

Acceptance of the noxious tenets of Americanism and moral relativism has resulted in the religious and cultural degeneration of Catholics in Louisiana, many of whom are now lax, liberal, and complacent in regards to living out the faith that is the sacred patrimony their ancestors fought and died to give them, and which, as such, deserves all of their attentions. 

Goals:

1. Resist Secularism, i.e., Americanism, Globalism, Freemasonry, and Sexual Degeneracy

2. Reclaim our Patrimony, i.e., our Religion, History, Language, and Culture

3. Restore Christendom in Louisiana by implementing the Doctrine of the Social Reign of Christ the King

We will advance these goals via a three-pronged offensive in the three social realms: 

1. The Hearth 

2. The Thrones

3. The Altars

Primary Offensive: The Hearth (Stop Secularism in Its Tracks)

1. Promote devotion to the Sacred Heart via the image - suitable to Louisiana - of the Sacred Heart upon a field of Fleurs-De-Lis (according to the visions of Ste. Marguerite-Marie Alacoque)

2. Promote the Enthronement of the Sacred Heart in every Louisiana home

3. Teach and promote daily prayer of the Rosary in French and/or Latin

4. Provide opportunities for education re: Le Grand Dérangement, the Vendée Uprising, and the Catholic history and culture of Louisiana

Secondary Offensive: The Thrones (Supplant and Eject Secularism)

1. Launch a Private Membership Association for all Louisiana Catholics and catechumens, which, operating under the 1st and 14th amendments and the Magna Carta (primarily “freedom of association”), establishes a political and economic matrix that exists outside of the jurisdiction of many laws governing public commerce. A PMA provides a place for:

1. An ordered political hierarchy

2. Exchange of goods and services without undue regulatory burdens

3. Application of Catholic economic principles, such as subsidiarity

4. Prioritizing patronage of Catholic businesses

5. Both digital and physical marketplaces where the Catholic customer and the Catholic producer can meet

6. The gradual establishment of a powerful network of the Church Militant as she fights against the secular powers

7. In short, the real framework of a truly Christian society (i.e. Christendom)

2. Host public, masculine demonstrations and processions proclaiming Christ as King in the public square. Deus lo vult! Objective: display the Church Militant’s presence as a force to be reckoned with.

Tertiary Offensive: The Altars (Expose and Expel the Secular Infiltration of the Church)

1. Hold Public Men’s Rosary Rallies (prayed in French and Latin) with the Blessed Sacrament (the True Presence of Our King)

2. Provide opportunities for Catechesis on the Catholic Doctrine of the Social Reign of Christ the King and other doctrines that have been neglected since Vatican II

Commanderies:

In order to advance these offensives and complete our objectives, locally and regionally-specific activism will be utterly indispensable. 

To that end, we will establish Commanderies in every diocese that will focus on advancing the cause of Christ the King utilizing the methods appropriate to their circumstances. Commanders will coordinate with the Headquarters on specific initiatives, but maintain a level of authority in relation to the Headquarters analogous to that of a Bishop in his diocese in relation to Rome.

Current Extant Commanderies (by diocese):

1. Lake Charles: Commandery of St. Louis, Roi de France

1. Acting Commander: Jacob Troutman

2. New Orleans: Commandery of Ste. Jeanne d’Arc

1. Acting Commander: Ross McKnight
