American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family, and Property

P.O. Box 341, Hanover, PA, 17331, (717) 225-7147

A global network that promotes a return to Catholic patriarchal oligarchy. It values the historical period of the Spanish Inquisition. Even some Catholic conservatives have written about TFP’s embrace of elements of fascism. The American sector of TFP was founded in 1973. They actively support the pro-life movement and oppose the “homosexual agenda.” TFP also supports the right to carry arms including concealed handguns. Their goal is to bring Christian theology into what they see as the chaos of mainstream American society as a “counterevolution” to secular ideas. The presence of colorful red banners and sashes (based on the symbols of the Inquisition) characterize street actions by followers who sometimes travel from city to city to stage demonstrations.
