About the Author: Father Denis Fahey, C.S.Sp. (July 3, 1883 – January 21, 1954) was an Irish Catholic priest. Fahey promoted the Catholic social doctrine of Christ the King, and was involved in Irish politics through his organization Maria Duce. Fahey firmly believed that "the world must conform to Our Divine Lord, not He to it", defending the Mystical Body of Christ without compromise. This often saw Fahey in conflict with systems which he viewed as promoting "naturalism" against Catholic order—particularly communism, freemasonry and rabbinic Judaism. A controversial figure who had an ambivalent relationship with the Church authorities, he is reported to have accepted the authenticity of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and to have had anti-Jewish tendencies.
