About The Author
Guillaume Faye
Guillaume Faye was born in 1949 and received a Ph.D. in Political Science from the Institut d'etudes politiques de Paris. He was one of the principal organisers of the French New Right organisation GRECE (Groupement de recherche et d'etudes pour la civilisation europeenne) during the 1970s and '80s, and at the same time cultivated his career as a journalist, particularly in the news magazines Figaro and Paris-Match. In 1986 he left GRECE after he came to disagree with the direction of the group. For more than a decade, he worked as a broadcaster for the French radio station Skyrock, and on the program Telematin which aired on France 2 TV. He returned to the field of political philosophy in 1998 when a number of his new essays were collected and published in the volume Archeofuturism. Since then he has produced a series of books which have challenged and reinvigorated readers throughout the world.

Note: GRECE has been described as pro-pagan. It's hard to sort out the factional conflicts but from what I gather, Faye's colleagues on the French identitarian far right regarded him as too extreme.

Pope Francis is a South American who came of age in the 1960s. There are millions of people like him in Latin America, and he's hardly the worst of the bunch.

It’s really scary how opaque the goings-on in other countries are, especially to us Americans, who are mostly mono-lingual.

Thanks for the information.

The author was not attacking Catholics or Catholicism.

The author is concerned about the assault on Christianity and western civilization by totalitarian leftists and Muslims. The author feels that Pope Francis is helping those trying to destroy western civilization by shaming faithful Catholics who want to defend and protect their way of life.
