Catholic and Identitarian: From Protest to Reconquest
Is Christianity the natural enemy of identitarianism? Has it contributed to the liberalization of our societies and to the mass immigration which is so quickly altering our social make-up and changing the face of our nations? What can Christianity, past or present, offer us at this unprecedented historical moment of political and social change?
Catholic and Identitarian seeks to answer these questions from a traditionalist Catholic perspective. Arguing that Christianity, and Catholicism in particular, far from being an enemy to identitarianism, actually forms the necessary underpinning for true European identitarianism, this book demonstrates that the teachings and traditions of the Church have always respected ethnic and national borders and protected the integrity of authentic human roots. At once a vindication of the Church against the misinterpretations and misrepresentations of left and right alike, and a stirring call to defend our European heritage from the forces that would destroy it, Catholic and Identitarian reminds us of the basic truth that "to fight is to love."

I am not unbiased about this work, as I am responsible for its translation into English. The work was a joy to translate. Catholic and Identitarian deals primarily with the question of French Identity as French and Catholic and European in light of current crises stemming from mass immigration, Church failure, disappointing politics, etc... Ultimately, the vision of the author - Julien Langella - is that France will awaken to her true identity only through a return to her native church and a mature appreciation for what is at stake if she fails to regain her own identity.
The author comes close to developing a theology of nation, as it were, and approaches the question of European identity through the unique lens of French Catholic. The work is of importance, however, for all Christians - Catholic, Orthodox, or Protestant - who are wrestling with the idea of what it means to be Christian in a society that is increasingly under attack for being White/European. Ultimately, modern liberal notions of "humanitarian" are no substitute for authentic, Christian reasoning on the issues of culture and identity.

Nice little book. Whilst it does rehash a lot of the usual arguments, it does a very good job of trying to reconcile the Identitarian worldview with that of France's traditionally Catholic identity.

Ensayo muy interesante que describe y analiza la situación de los países europeos, acosados por una ola de inmigración que presagia la pérdida de su propia identidad
