The Cité Catholique is a Traditionalist Catholic organisation created in 1946 by Jean Ousset, originally a follower of Charles Maurras (founder of the monarchist ''Action Française'' in 1899) and Jean Masson (1910–1965), not to be confused (as F. Venner did) with Jacques Desoubrie, who also used the pseudonym Jean Masson.〔F. Venner, ''Extrême France'', Grasset, 2006 ((extract ) 〕 Despite the presence of Roman Catholic clergy in some of its meetings, the ''Cité catholique'' is not officially recognised by the Roman Catholic Church.〔 It first took the name of ''Oeuvres de la Cité Catholique'' (Works of the Catholic City) and then of ''Office international des Oeuvres de formation civique et d'action culturelle selon le droit naturel et chrétien'' (ICTUS, International Office of Works of Civic Formation and Cultural Action According to Natural Christian Law) before being known under the name ''Cité Catholique''.〔(Stéphane Joly ), Green deputy, 6 June 2007 〕 It is now presided by Jacques Trémollet de Villers, a former associate of the far-right politician Jean-Louis Tixier-Vignancour and former defence attorney for accused war criminal Paul Touvier.〔 The Cité catholique also helped found in 1971 the pro-life NGO ''Laissez-les-vivre''.〔 Jean-Paul Bolufer, a former alumni of the ENA and who was the chief of staff of Christine Boutin, Minister of Housing and the City, before being forced to resign, and close to the Opus Dei, was trained by ''Cité catholique''.〔〔(Le cabinet très catholique de Christine Boutin ), RTL, 10 July 2007 〕〔(Christine Boutin nomme un directeur de cabinet formé par l'intégriste Cité catholique : Jean-Paul Bolufer ), ProChoix 〕 == History == An advance party of the Cité catholique arrived in Argentina in 1958, in the middle of the Algerian War (1954–62) and after the military which deposed Juan Perón in 1955.〔Horacio Verbitsky in ''The Silence'', extract transl. in English made available by openDemocracy: (Breaking the silence: the Catholic Church in Argentina and the "dirty war" ), July 28, 2005〕 The Cité Catholique brought to Argentina a doctrine of counter-revolutionary warfare and repression against terrorism, justified as part of Thomist dogmatism. They would thus provide the ideological support of the future "Dirty War" carried out by the Argentine military in the 1970s.〔 Many members of the group had taken part in the pro-"French Algeria" OAS terrorist group created in Madrid, and which attempted to block the implementation of the March 1962 Évian Accords and also tried several times to assassinate General Charles de Gaulle, whom the French far-right felt had deceived them.〔 Following the dismantlement of the OAS and execution of some of its members, the OAS chaplain, Fr. Georges Grasset, organised the flight of OAS members, from a route going from Paris to Franquist Spain and finally to Argentina.〔 Grasset arrived in 1962 in Buenos Aires to take charge of the Argentine branch of the Cité Catholique 〔 Charles Lacheroy, a member of this group, was the first person to reflect on the reasons behind the 1954 French defeat at Dien Bien Phu, which all but put an end to the Indochina War (1946–54). Roger Trinquier, who theorised the systemic use of torture in counter-insurgency in ''Modern Warfare: A French View of Counterinsurgency'' (1961), was also a member of this organisation.〔 Along with Colonel Jean Gardes, chief French expert in psychological warfare, Jean Ousset developed the concept of "subversion".〔 According to Argentine journalist Horacio Verbitsky, "this conceived a protean, quintessential enemy who, rather than being defined by his actions, was seen as a force trying to subvert Christian order, natural law or the Creator's plan." According to Ousset, "the revolutionary apparatus is ideological before it is political, and political before it is military.〔" 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cité catholique」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
