Denis Fahey

Father Denis Fahey (born July 3, 1883 in Golden, County Tipperary , † January 21, 1954 ) was an Irish Catholic priest .

Life

Fahey attended Rockwell College in Cashel . At the age of 17 he joined the Spiritans . The Order sent him to Orly as a novice in 1900 , shortly after the Pierre Waldeck-Rousseau cabinet had launched an anti-clerical campaign as a result of the Dreyfus affair . Due to illness he returned prematurely from France, but the episode influenced his later writings on the relationship between state and church.

After working at St. Mary's College in Dublin , Fahey studied from 1904 at the Royal University of Ireland and achieved a first class honors degree . He continued his studies at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome until he was ordained a priest in 1910 . Fahey returned to Ireland and was appointed Senior Scholasticate of the Order of Ireland at Kimmage in 1912 . He later taught church history and philosophy in Dublin.

plant

Fahey began writing in Catholic journals such as the Irish Ecclesiastical Record on mostly philosophical issues in the early 1920s .

At the beginning of the 1930s he occupied himself with the sermons of Thomas Aquinas and subsequently repeatedly with the kingship of Christ . The core of his work was his belief in a divine program that Jesus proclaimed and that the Jews had rejected. History should be understood as "acceptance or rejection of the program of our God". The medieval guild system came closest to this and since then society has turned away from the ideal. The three main events were the Protestant Reformation , the French Revolution and the October Revolution , the latter initiated by Satan . He saw the greatest challenge for the Catholic Church in the forces of naturalism , which worked covertly as Satan or demons or openly through Jews or Freemasons .

He accompanied campaigns by parties like the Cumann na nGaedheal with a series of articles against Freemasonry in John J. O'Kelly's Catholic Bulletin , occasionally referring to the work of Edward Cahill . His writings were translated for French Canada by Adrien Arcand .

Fahey was convinced that there was a Jewish-Masonic conspiracy against Christ's program and that Jews propagated communism , which he vehemently rejected as the highest form of materialism . He also included the Irish Republican Army . In March 1938 the Church imprinted his work Rulers of Russia , in which he set out the structure of rule in the Soviet Union with a list of names by Robert Wilson . The work was reprinted many times until 1986.

Money market reform

In Money, Manipulation and Social Order (1944) Fahey deals with economic reforms. In it he attacks the gold standard of the Bretton Woods system , which he sees as a source of national debt . Influenced by the ideas of Frederick Soddy , with whom he was in regular contact, he demanded that banks should be able to cover all loans with their money holdings. He shared some economic ideas with the social credit idea and guild socialism .
