Jean Madiran R.I.P.

Jean Madiran, perhaps the most esteemed leader of French Traditional Catholicism, died yesterday at 93 years of age. As is always the case in France, his ideas on things ecclesiastical were linked with strongly held political positions – he was an ancient disciple of Charles Maurras! Yet this is not weakness, but strength – the awareness of the political dimension of the faith, of the importance of not just Christianity, but Christendom.

His requiem will be celebrated Monday at the chapel of Notre-Dame des Armees in Versailles by the Abbot of Sainte-Madeleine du Barroux
