principles to both the community and their workplace. The community's new<br />

publishing project, Les Editions du Seuil , began by publishing religious<br />

children's literature by Marc's spiritual director, the abbe Jean Plaquevent,<br />

and eventually became one <strong>of</strong> the most important publishing house <strong>of</strong> postwar<br />

France." (Communitarian, p.82.) To this day, the {Editions du Seuil} is<br />

the most prestigious Academic publishing house in France. However, what<br />

makes this conversion and marriage most fascinating is the fact that<br />

SUZANNE JEAN was a French protestant, who had been recruited from the<br />

British side <strong>of</strong> the ORWELLIAN -WOESLEY (spelling) Synarchy where<br />

she had been trained in the NEW BRITAIN <strong>movement</strong>. It is, indeed, quite<br />

extraordinary that such a conservative Dominican Convent, which had<br />

"spiritual" domination over ACTION FRANCAISE, would, number 1)<br />

permit the only marriage ever to be celebrated in their midst, to be, number<br />

2) a marriage between a Catholic and a protestant, and that, number 3) a<br />

Protestant would marry a newly converted sheep. This unique "alliance<br />

cordiale" is completely at odds with the traditionalist views <strong>of</strong> the Roman<br />

Catholic Church, which demonstrates that either these French Dominicans<br />

were going to the dogs or their synarchist politics were made for very<br />

anomalic bedfellows.<br />

In 1934, MARC joined the ETATS GENERAUX DE LA<br />

JEUNESSE, a group founded by synarchists leaders, JEAN COUTROT and<br />

MADAME CANUDO, and consolidated his faith in gnostic Catholicism<br />

with the Swiss existential theologian, KARL BARTH, the guru <strong>of</strong> DENIS<br />

DE ROUGEMONT, that he had met at the DOMINICAN convent <strong>of</strong> Juvisy.<br />

MARC was also surrounded by Dominican theologian YVES CONGAR,<br />

OP, from the Dominican convent <strong>of</strong> LE SAULCHOIR, in Kain, Belgium.<br />

In 1939, MARC created another synarchist outfit called Centre d'Etudes de<br />

Documentation et d'Action (CEDA) in Aix-en-Provence with his friend<br />

BERNARD VOYENNE.<br />

This Dominican "personalist" ideology was a counter-culture<br />

<strong>movement</strong> <strong>of</strong> non-conformists who rejected the Third Republic, the Nationstate,<br />

party politics, and the parliamentary system more generally, in favor <strong>of</strong><br />

a return to a Middle-Ages run by Knight-Monks who believed in a romanticauthoritarian<br />

Europe <strong>of</strong> communes and regions. The notions <strong>of</strong><br />

"personalism" had begun in Germany during the 1920's with the psychology<br />

<strong>of</strong> WILLIAM STERN and the philosophy <strong>of</strong> MAX SCHELER. This is how<br />

the Dominican synarchists deployed MARC "as a pr<strong>of</strong>essional networker as<br />

well as an authority on the new German and Belgian communitarian ideas,<br />
