The lion symbol is interesting. It reminds me of one of the royal lions of the Royal Warrant of England.

They’re a strange bunch. Totally anti-gay, want to start a second Crusade of sorts, anti-Protestant…

The American TFP’s worldview is based on Corra de Oliveira’s 1959 study, Revolution and Counter-Revolution. According to the aims laid out in this book, TFP acts to oppose the anti-Christian process that has undermined Christian civilization since the 14th century, the “Revolution” of the study’s title. This “Revolution” has three phases which progressively undermine the Church and social order:

1. The Protestant “Pseudo-Reformation” and its rejection of religious authority and inequality, in particular the Pope.
2. The “Enlightenment” and the French Revolution and its rejection of temporal authority, in particular the King and nobility.
3. The Communist Revolution and its rejection of economic inequality.

They hate the Enlightenment. That’s rich.
