Fr. Denis Fahey, C.Ss.S (1883-1954), a member of the Holy Ghost Congregation, was a well-known author of the pre-Vatican II era, whose works, even today, are an inspiration for traditional Catholics
all over the world. The main thrust behind his scholarly endeavors was to
bring forth the Kingship of Christ in each and every land. Whether it was
his theoretical constructs for social order or the exposition of the forces
which strove to undermine the rights of Almighty God, Fr. Fahey fought
tirelessly for Christ and His One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.
A devout and committed priest, Fr. Fahey saw the Sacraments, and especially the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, as the summit of man's "social" activities. From The Mystical Body of Christ and the Reorganization of Society, he spoke of the indispensable component for man's spiritual and material well being:
The centre of order in the actual world is Our Lord..., for it is through
Him alone that men can be in fully harmonious relation to God and amongst
themselves. The culminating expression of mankind's acceptance of order is
the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. This is so because the Mass, being the
renewal of the one supremely-acceptable act of submission of Calvary, is the
official act of submission to God ... on the part of the Mystical Body of
Christ, in union with its Head.
The Fr. Denis Fahey Archive will provide a repository of information about this heroic soldier of Christ and offer a counterbalance to the misinformation that his good name has endured from those on the Left and the neglect of those on the Right because of the controversial subjects that he fearlessly tackled.
