About Jean Ousset

  • Jean Ousset (28 July 1914 – 20 April 1994) was a French ideologist of National Catholicism born in Porto, Portugal.
  • He was an activist of the Action française monarchist movement in the 1930s, and personal secretary of its leader, Charles Maurras.
  • Under the Vichy regime during World War II, Ousset became the chief of the research bureau of Jeune lĂ©gion, a structure dependent of the LĂ©gion française des combattants, the veterans' association created in 1940 and headed by Xavier Vallat. Following the Liberation, Jean Ousset became one of the leader of CitĂ© catholique, an integral Catholic group.
  • The CitĂ© catholique also included Marcel Lefebvre, who later founded the priestly Society of St.
  • Pius X, free from neo-modernist and indifferentist currents.
  • As the Cagoule had done before the war, the CitĂ© catholique had as aim to infiltrate the Republic's elites in order to form a National Catholic state, on the model of Francoist Spain.Close to Lefebvriste's contacts, Jean Ousset published in 1949 Pour qu'Il règne, a title which was chosen by the Belgian section of the Society of St.
  • Pius X as title of its newspaper.
  • The preface of the book was signed by Marcel Lefebvre. Ousset also wrote Le Marxisme-LĂ©ninisme in which he developed the new concept of "subversion" and argued that Marxists could only be combatted by "a profound faith, an unlimited obedience to the Holy Father, and a thorough knowledge of the Church's doctrines.".
  • Its Spanish translation was prefaced by Antonio Caggiano, the archbishop of Buenos Aires and military chaplain, who would theorize counter-revolutionary warfare in Argentina (theories which were implemented by the military during the so-called "Dirty War").
