1. IN ACTUALITY

            The actual counter-revolutionary is one who:

            –  knows the Revolution, order, and the Counter-Revolution in their respective spirits, doctrines, and methods;

            –  loves the Counter-Revolution and Christian order, and hates the Revolution and “anti-order”;

            –  makes of this love and this hatred the axis around which revolve all his ideals, preferences, and activities.

            Of course this attitude of soul does not require higher education. Saint Joan of Arc was no theologian but astounded her judges by the theological profundity of her thoughts. So also, animated by an admirable understanding of the Revolution's spirit and aims, simple peasants of Navarre, for instance, or of Vendee or Tyrol, have often been the best soldiers of the Counter-Revolution.
