  1. 1. Revolution And Counter Revolution

    This work traces modern revolutionary movements to a long intellectual and cultural assault on Christian civilization, arguing that the Enlightenment and its successors systematically undermined the Church, monarchy, family, property and social hierarchy and then deployed political, legal and cultural means to complete the revolution; it analyzes the methods and stages by which revolutionary elites subvert institutions and public opinion, and warns of the social consequences of accepting revolutionary principles. It calls for a deliberate counter-revolutionary strategy rooted in Catholic doctrine and traditional social structures, urging organized resistance by lay and clerical leaders to restore order, defend private property, and reestablish moral and political authority. Throughout, the book combines historical narrative, doctrinal argument and tactical prescriptions aimed at halting and reversing the spread of modern radical ideologies.

  2. 2. Revolución Y Contra Revolución

    A sweeping historical and ideological analysis of modern revolutionary movements, tracing their origins in the French Revolution and arguing that liberal, socialist, communist and secularizing currents have systematically undermined Christian and traditional social structures; it dissects the actors, methods and cultural strategies by which revolution advances, diagnoses the progressive erosion of hierarchy, family and religion, and calls for a disciplined, Catholic-inspired counter-revolution to defend and restore a hierarchical, Christian social order.
