The Australian Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property (Australian TFP) is an organization of lay Catholic Australians concerned about the moral crisis shaking the remnants of Christian civilization. The TFP is on the front lines of the Culture War, peacefully defending the values of tradition, family and private ownership.
Central to the TFP mission is the idea that the various crises threatening Australian society and the Church cannot be seen as separate and disjointed. Rather they originate from a single cause.
The TFP handbook Revolution and Counterrevolution by Plinio Correa de Oliveira masterfully traces the historical and philosophical roots of this single cause: a phenomenon called the Revolution.
The TFP is not afraid to take its views to the streets with colourful street campaigns in major cities.
The TFP was born from the idea of a Counterrevolution, a reaction that would embrace every field of of human activity, but especially art, ideas and culture. TFP books, publications and newspaper advertisements help bring these views to the public. Moreover, the TFP is not afraid to take them to the streets with colourful street campaigns in major cities.
The first TFP was founded in Brazil in 1960 by Prof. Plinio Correa de Oliveira. The Australian TFP is one of many autonomous TFPs that now exist around the world dedicated to the same ideals and at the service of Christian Civilization.
We founded Australia Needs Fatima because we see in Our Lady's Message at Fatima that one of her aims is to prevent the spread of the errors of Russia. The USSR led the Revolution against traditional Catholic beliefs, against the traditional family and against the rights of a family or business to hold private property and these ideas have spread throughout the world and to Australia. The missionary work of Australia Needs Fatima is one way we can help defend Christian civilisation.
