Right Wing group at CPAC and involved in opposition to ending DADT is a cult

[ck4829]

"In my earlier post about the absurdly anti-gay Tradition, Family and Property "report" opposing the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell, I wondered who would be joining them at their
press conference tomorrow to unveil it at CPAC."

What exactly is "Tradition, Family and Property"?

T.F.P. is accused of being a "brainwashing cult"

"We have seen how T.F.P. ("Tradition Family and Property") already fell under the suspicion of being a "cult" or "sect" from a religious point of view. However, it also fell under this suspicion from a sociological point of view.

T.F.P. first met with considerable problems in France, where the organization set up the "Ecole Saint-Benoît" in 1977, a private school at Châteauroux, attended exclusively by the children of Catholic traditionalists, and run by a group of TFP militants. TFP first tried to explain away unexpected changes in the behaviour of several students by calling them "individual cases". In a meeting in 1979, the parents, the chaplain and the teachers all discovered that such cases were anything but individual, and asked TFP to cease running the school.

The parents, teachers and chaplain, together with several students, drew up a fascinating booklet on the organization and its methods (reprinted by Catholic traditionalists as Tradizione Famiglia Proprietà: associazione cattolica o setta millenarista?).

As with many similar groups, they discovered that TFP gradually teaches its militants not to think: "You think too much: this is a temptation from the devil", is the expression a Brazilian director used speaking to a doubting Frenchman; typically, "over-thinking" is blamed ideologically on René Descartes."

In 1995 and in 1999, the French government published reports on this organization's activities in the country and referred to it as a cult.

"Just so the readers here know I am an ex-member of America Needs Fatima (One of their organizations) and I can attest to the fact that they are very much a cult.

They are monarchists, and oppose egalitarianism in most of it’s forms.

Take Lord of the Rings and replace the Orcs with Muslims, slap Medieval conceptions of Catholicism, wholehearted support for the “righteous” function of the Spanish Inquisition, and inane reveries about the “good ole days” when women wore dresses and allegedly acted like “women” back in the 19th century, and you’ve got the TFP.

They break with Tradition, they Steal your Family, and they will take your Property in as many donations of land and money as they can get."

"Last January, Deputy Nelson Avila denounced physical aggression and dishonest abuse against a minor, supposedly perpetrated by members of the group “Save Me Virgin of Fatima”.

This organization splintered from the Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property (TFP), better known as “Fiducia”. The society, ultraconservative and of mediaeval inspiration, holds the right to private property as “divine” and are attributed with holding contacts with extreme right and neonazi European parties.

In 1985, TPF was banned in Venezuela once it was proven that the organization offended family values by instilling discriminatory values, turning youths into fanatics."

Basically, from what I understand, this group is obsessed with going back to the old days, and no, not the 1950's, but the medieval period. They think that owning property makes you one of God's chosen people and that the best poor people can do is rise up to a status where they serve those supposed Gods walking on Earth. And they think that any line of thinking that does not agree with them is heretical and "revolutionary", which is their code word for eeeeeEEEEEVVVIIILLL.

And they're now harassing people at CPAC and leading the opposition to killing DADT.

Nice.

1. "America Needs Fatima"?

so the basis of their belief is a well publicized religious fraud case in Portugal. Way to go, cult dumbasses.

2. Excellent work.

I've seen a couple of wierdos like this around religious forums. One was even trying to argue for a geocentric galaxy. On the internet, he says this.
