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 />
