Before explaining what this group is, I want to explain that there are other reactionary movements about that are pre-modern in attitude. There are still monarchists. There are groups with magazines saying, “Turn Left at the Renaissance,” because they think Western civilization took the wrong turn because of the Italian Renaissance. There are really nasty reactionary movements out there that are not fascist. One size classification doesn’t fit all.
I am somewhat familiar with this group since I had encountered them in my researches on the neo-Confederate movement. The founder of this movement considered the antebellum slaveowners with their plantations to be an aristocracy with what he believes are the virtues of an aristocracy. His book, “Nobility and Analogous Traditional Elites,” which argues for the restoration of aristocratic rule.
I used to occasionally get invitations to attend some of their functions.
So this the following is my report on them.
Their website is
This is a Catholic organization with pre-modern reactionary ideas. They are against modern democracy and think society should be ruled by aristocrats.
This is a link to their founder’s book. “Nobility and Analogous Traditional Elites.”
They are global in scope. https://www.tfp.org/links-tfps-inspired-related-groups/

The article doesn’t comprehend that dangerously anti-Gay extreme right wing groups are a problem. This is the comment on TFP by a local idiot.
A local activist, who was at the scene, said the protesters were there to rally against a drag queen story hour happening at Mr. Misster. “They were there to scream at kids,” the activist said on Facebook, noting that some were Roman Catholics who were “actually behaved and just chanting the rosary. It’s the Infowars/fascist crowd that is problematic.”
They want the total annihilation of the Gay community, but this local activist is defending them.
This is a typical article at TFP. “How Drag Queen Events Prepare Children for Satanism.”

They have this activity.

In their magazine, ANF Crusade, they report on their protest against drag queen story hours.

They have a formal campaign against drag queen story hours.
The campaign against drag queen story hours and the Gay community in general isn’t confined to Evangelical Christians, it also involved reactionary Catholics.
Summary
I think we need to understand that this group is working to undermine the Gay community and they are present among reactionary Catholics in the Dallas area. We should be alert and recognize them as a danger to our community. Their methods are different than the Proud Boys and other such groups, but they are no less dangerous if not more dangerous. It would be useful if someone would focus on researching their activities.
