    • Anyone know any good books, lectures, audios, articles analysing the Catholic Counter-Revolutionary movements as a whole, see why they won and lost, characters, etc.

    Carlistas, Jacobites, Cristeros, Franco's Spain, Pilgrimage of Grace in England, the Vendée, Jorge Videla in Argentina, Garcia Moreno, Eamon de Valera in Ireland, Salazar's Portugal, etc.

    • Thank you Domitilla!! Excellent titles

    I should clarify a little. A friend is researching the evolution of political economy from the ancient Greeks to today, with a focus on what he calls "liberty" and the small state. My point to him was that modern political economy cannot be understood without reference to the Catholic counter-revolutionary movements that stemmed the tide of Communism and tyrant states at various points in time.

    But any sources are welcome.
    God bless

    • Thanks for that list, Domitilla.

    OP, as to the pilgrimage of grace, I found this: http://archive.org/stream/thepilgrimageofg01dodduoft#page/n13/mode/2up

    I have not read it and don't know if the author treats the topic well or not.  It is possible that she is a bitter Anglican, I don't know.

    Speaking of Michael Davies, his book Cranmer's Godly Order, deals with the events surrounding Cranmer's imposition of a protestant mass, and talks about the pilgrimage of grace.  There's a particular part of that book that I found very inspiring, which I will transcribe here:

    Quote from: The Demands of the English Counter Revolutionaries


    Fyrst we wyll have the general counsall and the holy decrees of our forefathers observed, kept and performed, and who so shal agαyne saye them, we hold them as Heretikes... We will have the Masse in Latten as before... we will have the Sacrament hange over the hyeyhe aulter, and there to be worshypped as it was wount to be and they which will not thereto consent, we wyl have them dye lyke heretykes against the Holy Catholyque Fayth... we wyl have palmes and asshes at the tymes accustomed, Images to be set up again in every church, and all other auncient olde ceremonyes used heretofore, by our mother the holy church... we will not receive the new servye because it is like a Christmas game, but we will have oure old service of Mattens, mass, Evensong and procession in Latten, not in English, as it was before (Cranmer's Godly Order, p 121, epmhasis added)


    Keep in mind that the English counter revolutionaries were not educated men.  They were faithful, simple Catholics with a strong sensus catholicus
    .  It's good to remember their actions and martyrdom when traditional Catholics are charged with 'disobedience' and 'being holier than the pope,' and when people want to remain complacent in the NO because 'they're not theologians.'

    "Be kind; do not seek the malicious satisfaction of having discovered an additional enemy to the Church... And, above all, be scrupulously truthful. To all, friends and foes alike, give that serious attention which does not misrepresent any opinion, does not distort any statement, does not mutilate any quotation. We need not fear to serve the cause of Christ less efficiently by putting on His spirit". (Vermeersch, 1913).

    • You're most welcome, Mithrandylan.  By the way, I have that book I promised to give you.

    N.A., a very good book which provides much information on the state of the pre-revolutionary French economy is:  "Citizens", by Simon Schama
