Concerns have been raised over a 'chivalry camp' for boys taking place this weekend in Kildare. The event claims its aims are to instill 'manly virtues of courage and Catholic militancy' in youngsters so they can 'break away from the filth' of the world.
CONCERNS HAVE BEEN raised over a so-called “chivalry camp” for young boys taking place this weekend in Co Kildare.
In 2021, the Institute of Strategic Dialogue - a group that studies extremist and conspiratorial movements – described the TFP movement as the “oldest node” in a global network of “ultra-conservative organisations” which campaign on the furthering of “repressive policies”. Its total expenditure in 2021 was €376,109. “100% of the expenditure is related to charitable activities and the provision of services,” the report said, further outlining that around half of this expenditure related to publications in newspapers, conferences, workshops and the printing and distribution of pamphlets and newsletters
Previously, the ISCC was able to hold a camp in 2019 at Glencomeragh House, a former monastery on the Tipperary-Waterford border. The site is owned by the Diocese of Waterford and Lismore. “It sounds like a very specifically fringe organisation on the outskirts of the Catholic Church but their status as a fringe group also depends on what support they get from dioceses in the church,” Prender said.
