Alleanza Cattolica

[1] "Cristianità" has released a revisionist interpretation of the Italian Risorgimento, based on the thought of the Brazilian Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira, which analyzes the role of the revolutionary forces in the historical process.

While accepting the idea of a state extended throughout the national territory, Alleanza Cattolica intends to re-discuss the legitimacy of the secular order adopted following the events of the Risorgimento.

On June 6, 1977, many members of the Catholic Alliance, including Baron Roberto de Mattei, the pharmacologist Giulio Soldani, Massimo Introvigne, Mario Di Fiorino and Attilio Tamburrini (who will manage, together with Alfredo Mantovano, the Pontifical Foundation of the Catholic Church “Aid to the Church in Need”) and his brother Renato Tamburrini, participated in Rome in the conference on the Second Vatican Council of the archbishop monsignor Marcel Lefebvre, invited by Princess Elvina Pallavicini.

Mario Di Fiorino replied to Introvigne that .The archbishop's "prudent doubt" dated back to many years before the conference and Mass at Palazzo Pallavicini (June 6, 1977), which had seen the presence of the leaders of Alleanza Cattolica.

Lefebvre in a private audience as early as November 1978, and relations improved with tones and formulations, which foreshadowed an agreement on the council's acceptance, understood in the light of all Tradition and the constant Magisterium of the Church.

"[10] Roberto de Mattei, who was also a leading exponent of Alleanza Cattolica, writing in the death of Giovanni Cantoni, interpreted the 1981 turning point as a choice of political strategy, citing the use of the Trotskyist term "entryism": "In 1978 John Paul II was elected and Cantoni, who had great faith in the new Polish Pope, believed that Alleanza Cattolica should change its strategy, moving from "opposition" to what he defined as "entryism", i.e. collaboration with the authorities and ecclesiastical movements.
