In a recent interview granted to the New York Times, billionaire Pierre-Édouard Stérin has unveiled his ambitions for France. Between massive funding for the Rassemblement National (Project Pericles) and a desire to transform the country into a "capitalist and Christian" power, his statements are causing a great stir. But behind the words, does his vision withstand rigorous Catholic analysis?
A "Mathematical" Catholicism Far from the Heart
Stérin asserts a rational, almost technical faith. While his investment in works like Puy du Fou or the prayer app Hosanna is praiseworthy, his political program raises profound questions. Claiming to be "more to the right than the far right" while claiming to aim for holiness is a paradox worth highlighting: the greatest saints have never flaunted their own virtue.
The Mirage of Unbridled Capitalism
The real point of rupture lies in his staunch adherence to "Trumpian" liberalism. Stérin advocates for the privatization of education and healthcare, the dismantling of social protection, and unfettered competition. However, the Church, through the voice of Leo XIII in the encyclical Rerum Novarum, firmly condemns this greed which delivers workers to "inhuman masters". A France where the poorest "die with their mouths agape" in their cars in the name of the free market has nothing Catholic about it. The State has the sacred duty to protect the lower classes and to watch over the Common Good.
Immigration and Sovereignty: The Real Causes Overlooked
While Stérin positions himself on a radical anti-immigration line, he seems to ignore the deep-rooted causes of the ill. Denouncing Islam without tackling those who truly hold the reins—the Masonic lodges and networks of influence that favor this uprooting—is to attack the consequences rather than the principles. Furthermore, while the Church advocates political prudence, it has never supported total hostility to welcoming the other, as Saint Thomas Aquinas or Pius XII remind us.
Conclusion: Towards a Truly Catholic Media
What is lacking today is not financiers for a "Zionist right" or socialist revolutionaries in name only, but a true media outlet that dares to defend natural law and the social reign of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
