Organized Naturalism

The name of this category comes from Father Dennis Fahey, C.Ss.P., the great apostle of the doctrine of Christ the King. Father Fahey defines "Naturalism" as "the negation of the possibility of the elevation of our nature to the Supernatural Life and order, or more radically still, in the negation of the very existence of that Life and order. In our day, owing to the progress of the anti-Christian revolt, the more radical meaning has become common. Naturalism may be defined, therefore, as the attitude of mind which denies the reality of the Divine Life of Grace and of our Fall therefrom by Original Sin. It rejects our consequent liability to revolt against the order of the Divine Life, when this Life has been restored to us by our membership of Christ, and maintains that all social life should be organized on the basis of that denial."

Any system of thought or organization that rejects the Divine Plan and tries to substitute anything other than His plan would be called Naturalistic. It is based on the denial of Divine Revelation. Groups that hold this view (e.g., Masons, Zionists, Communists) are "Organized Naturalists." Simply, they are groups of men who work to establish an order that leaves out the essential element — God and his Divine Order — the Kingship of Christ. "Naturalism means complete sterility in regard to salvation and eternal life."

Satan is considered the first Naturalist. He rejected the Divine Plan for salvation and substituted his own with his defiant cry, "I will not serve!" Satan’s aim has never changed. He wants to subvert the Divine Plan and recruit as many men as possible into his disordered cadre — for his malicious delight and their eternal damnation.
