Father Denis Fahey, C.S.Sp.
I repeatedly promised Saint Peter that if I ever got the chance, I would teach the truth about his Master in the way he and his successors, the Roman Pontiffs, wanted it done. That is what I have striven to do and am doing. Fr. Denis Fahey Denis Fahey was born in Golden, County Tipperary, Ireland, on the land and among kinsmen whom he dearly loved. The parish of Knockavilla where he was baptized is part of the Diocese of Cashel. He was, by the grace of God born into a devout Catholic family that was blessed with three sons. Thomas was the oldest. John died very young, and Denis was the youngest son of his parents, Thomas and Brigit (Cleary), who were deeply devoted to the Church. Denis was sent at the age of twelve to Rockwell College, where he was educated by the Holy Ghost Fathers among whom his vocation to the priesthood was nurtured and eventually came to fruition. Fr. Fahey s life work was the promotion of the Catholic social doctrine of Christ the King. He firmly believed that the world must conform to Our Divine Lord, not He to it. He always defended the Mystical Body of Christ without compromise. He called the social doctrine Our Lord s Program for Order. Fr. Denis Fahey was the great champion of the Kingship of Christ in the 20th century. This is the best introduction to his work, since it is the most concise and yet comprehensive summary of the great battle of our age. It is a clear outline of the eternal battle between the fallen angels with their worldly allies and Our Lord in his Mystical Body, the Catholic Church. There are two cities, with two armies, battling for the victory of God s kingdom on earth. He of course already reigns without opposition in Heaven as it says in the Lord s Prayer. The Mystical Body of Christ and the Reorganization of Society is Father Fahey s magnum opus, and his other books are all worthy of our attention, however, we at Loreto feel that this is the best short introduction to Father s teachings. Loreto s Introduction to Father Denis Fahey When Jesus Christ, our King and Master, taught us how to pray to His Father and Our Father, he used the phrase thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. In heaven God s will is perfectly accomplished, but here on earth, fallen mankind cannot fulfill God s will without the constant assistance of sanctifying grace communicated to the world through the sacraments of His church. After the fall of Adam, a world perfectly ordered to God s divine will was corrupted and dis-order became the natural state of mankind and the created universe. It was the role of the Messias to re-order this fallen world to bring a new state of order to the world His Father had created. The means for establishing that order by which a fallen world may return to God is the Catholic church and the life of sanctifying grace. As Christians newly born into the life of grace a supernatural state of being we are all called to bring as much order to this world as is possible, all the while never forgetting that this world is in a fallen and corrupted state and that a utopia is not possible here on earth. The Church of Christ is constantly opposed in this mission by all of the forces of naturalism or dis-order, that is those forces opposed to the supernatural life of divine grace. It is the duty of all Christians of the Church Militant to battle against these forces. This calling of Christians to the battle for order was the motto of the pontificate of Pope Saint X. That motto was Instaurare Omnia in Christo, to restore all things in Christ , taken from Saint Paul s letter to the Ephesians 1:10.
