Another ideologue <strong>of</strong> {SEPT} came through the radical branch <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Belgian Action Catholique, RAYMOND DE BECKER, who wrote a <strong>book</strong><br />
called {Vers un Ordre Nouveau}, in which he called for a totalitarian order<br />
along the lines <strong>of</strong> the Chivalry <strong>of</strong> Medieval Europe. A follower <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Russian mystic BERDYAEFF, BECKER prophesized that "a special type <strong>of</strong><br />
monastic life in the world would arise, a kind <strong>of</strong> new order," which would be<br />
established by charismatic Catholic Knight-Monks, or lay-priests, who<br />
would convert the world under the banner <strong>of</strong> Christ the King. This was the<br />
Belgium echo <strong>of</strong> the Carlist Phalangist <strong>movement</strong> that had taken root in<br />
Belgium with LEON DEGRELLE. The religious fanaticism <strong>of</strong> BECKER<br />
was a sort <strong>of</strong> repeat performance <strong>of</strong> what DENIS DE ROUGEMONT had<br />
expressed in his {Journal d'Allemagne}, in which he analyzed Nazism as a<br />
form <strong>of</strong> religion. In his <strong>book</strong> {Des vivants et des morts} (About the Living<br />
and the Dead), BECKER stressed that his objective was to engender "a new<br />
Middle Ages superseding the old liberal civilization."<br />
A mix between the {New Middle Ages} <strong>of</strong> BERDYAEFF and the<br />
medievalist GILSON, the Dominican Societe de Saint Louis, to which the<br />
newly married, ALEXANDER MARC and SUZANNE JEAN had adhered<br />
in 1933, was a typical AGRARIAN MOVEMENT commune called {Le<br />
Rotoir}, which, like the British Distributionists, the American Agrarians,<br />
and the Belgian communitarian groups <strong>of</strong> ACTION CATHOLIQUE a la<br />
BECKER and LEON DEGRELLE, with his REXIST <strong>movement</strong>, grew to<br />
become the pre WWII variety <strong>of</strong> the ecology and terrorist <strong>movement</strong>. Later,<br />
DEGRELLE went on to set up terrorist cells in Mexico and central America.<br />
It was reportedly because <strong>of</strong> the unacceptable communitarian goals <strong>of</strong><br />
MOUNIER, MARC, BECKER, and DEGRELLE, and because he could not<br />
approve <strong>of</strong> the 1933 {Letter to Hitler} by ALEXANDER MARC, that<br />
JACQUES MARITAIN is said to have broken <strong>of</strong>f with the ORDRE<br />
NOUVEAU, and decided to use the cover <strong>of</strong> fighting for the French<br />
resistance in the United States by 1942. (More on the resistance later.)<br />
Finally, HELLMAN reported: "As {Sept} was on the cutting edge <strong>of</strong><br />
French religious thought and experience, it proved vulnerable to attack by<br />
unreconstructed (sic) right-wing Dominicans loyal to Action Francaise. The<br />
celebrated Notre-Dame preacher, Father Marie-Albert Janvier, hated father<br />
Boisselot and successfully schemed against Boisselot's {Sept} in the<br />
Vatican. But despite the rapid physical disappearance <strong>of</strong> the review, its<br />
intellectual and spiritual influence proved remarkable: young {Sept}<br />
