"Radical traditionalist Catholics" are meeting in Canada to call for church and state to reunite, for sanity's sake
By Don Terry
This article was originally published by The Southern Poverty Law Center.
Beyond the obvious, what do a far-right Italian politician, the president of the John Birch Society and former U.S. Rep. Ron Paul have in common?
In early September, the men are all scheduled to speak along with a lengthy list of archconservative clergy, lawyers and academics at a conference in Canada sponsored by the Fatima Center, part of the radical traditionalist Catholic movement, perhaps the single largest group of hard-core anti-Semites in North America.
Paul, the former Texas congressman and Republican presidential candidate, is the keynote speaker of the weeklong conference slated for Sept. 8-13 in Niagara Falls, Ontario. A physician before entering politics, Paul got into considerable hot water in 2008 when The New Republic published Angry White Man, an article about the contents of newsletters he published. What the newsletters revealed, the magazine reported, are decades worth of obsession with conspiracies, sympathy for the right-wing militia movement, and deeply held bigotry against blacks, Jews and gays. Paul denied writing the newsletters that bore his name.
The conference is titled, Fatima: The Path to Peace and is a call, according to a Fatima Center press release, to a return to sanity in the government of the world and the Church, for the two cannot be separated.
