Dominicans Marie-Dominique Chenu and Yves Congar (whose advice Marc<br />

<strong>of</strong>ten sought for {Sept} orientation) would go on to be among the most<br />

famous and influential Catholic theologians in the world." (HELLMAN,<br />

Communitarian, p.113.) The Revue {SEPT} was shut down in 1937, and<br />

reappeared under the new name <strong>of</strong> {TEMPS PRESENT}, with a lay editorial<br />

board that ended up being led by arch-Dominican asset, HUBERT BEUVE-<br />

MERY, as editor in chief, and future founder <strong>of</strong> the daily newspaper, {LE<br />

MONDE}.<br />

10.2 ALEXANDER MARC LIPIANSKY'S LETTER TO HITLER<br />

The {Letter to Hitler}, written by ALEXANDER MARC<br />

LIPIANSKY and DANIEL ROPS, is an important piece <strong>of</strong> evidence<br />

showing how far the religious fanaticism <strong>of</strong> the Dominicans was willing to<br />

go, in both reprimanding HITLER for his mistakes, and in claiming that<br />

ORDRE NOUVEAU was a superior form <strong>of</strong> fascism that the Nazis had<br />

HITLER, written in the name <strong>of</strong> ORDRE NOUVEAU, in which he<br />

reprimanded Hitler for having become the {GRAVEDIGGER OF THE<br />

LEAGUE OF NATIONS} and for having led "your troops excesses"…"the<br />

murders, the imprisonments, the beatings," and that ORDRE NOUVEAU<br />

had to conclude that the German National Socialism was "spiritually<br />

insufficient," and that " your revolution was condemned to drift into<br />

brutality."<br />

ALEXANDER MARC was making this assessment on the basis <strong>of</strong> his<br />

own Dominican ORDRE NOUVEAU, which he claimed had a "superior<br />

understanding <strong>of</strong> the human person," and which "incorporated a more<br />

universal and revolutionary vision." MARC wrote: "The genuine greatness<br />

<strong>of</strong> your <strong>movement</strong> is that it is…heroism, sacrifice, and abnegation…a<br />

challenge to contemporary materialism. We will shortly turn to what we see<br />

to be incomplete and deviant about your heroism from our point <strong>of</strong> view; but<br />

it exists. To a world, which only lives for the frenetic satisfaction <strong>of</strong><br />

instincts, which <strong>of</strong>fers…mass-produced furniture as the great goal <strong>of</strong><br />

mankind (capitalism and communism being the same in this respect), you<br />
