Between Rome and Rebellion

"""Acclaimed French historian Yves Chiron has provided an invaluable history of the defense of Catholic doctrine and worship against the corrosive effects of various errors that have arisen in the wake of the French Revolution and the Modernist Crisis. Primarily focused on the Church in France, Between Rome and Rebellion sets forth the who, what, when, where, and why of a movement that has had, and will continue to have, a profound impact on the life of the Church. This book gives much-needed historical background for readers seeking to understand the crisis facing the Church today."" --FR. GERALD E. MURRAY ""The work of Yves Chiron is of highest interest for historians, politicians, and Catholics of all directions. Those seeking a deeper understanding of the conservative, antiliberal, partly antirepublican and Catholic movements-which are now so influential in the politics of the Western world-will find in this work a key that opens the door to an intellectually fascinating world that has for too long been neglected by public attention."" --MARTIN MOSEBACH ""Yves Chiron offers us the best history yet written on the complex twists and turns of the traditionalist movement in its birthplace: France. Reading it is like having a ringside seat to the momentous events in the ongoing 'guerrilla warfare' of traditionally-minded faithful against the forces of real or perceived modernism in the Church. As a work of impeccable scholarship and objectivity, it should be required reading not only for Catholics with opinions for or against the 'loyal rebels, ' but also for anyone who simply wants to have an accurate topographical map of modern Catholicism."" --PETER A. KWASNIEWSKI ""This book will immediately become an indispensable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Traditionalist movement. Chiron writes with complete impartiality, straightens out misunderstandings and urban myths, and with illuminating detail presents the tangled stories, especially, of French traditionalism, papal policy, and the SSXP."" --JOSEPH SHAW ""At long last we have a major history of Catholic Traditionalism! Chiron's book, focused primarily on France, is by far the most thorough work on the history of Traditionalism available today. Relying heavily on primary sources, Chiron chronicles (from its earliest beginnings before World War I) a diffuse movement involving many different directions, objectives, leaders, and organizations-yet sharing the same spirit. Between Rome and Rebellion is essential reading for anyone wanting to understand the historical roots and current state of this movement, once fringe, that has acquired fundamental significance for the Church."" --STUART CHESSMAN"
