Hispanidad Facing the Great Replacement

The underlying problem is the apostasy of the majority of Europeans, who have renounced Christ the King. An ethnic or racial reaction is a mistake and a concession to the enemy. The Carlist response: the spiritual reconquest under the banner of Hispanidad, that is, of Christendom

In the rumor mills of the modern Tower of Babel that the social engineers of globalism are trying to build, we are accused of alarmism when we point to the most palpable evidence: Spain, and with it all of Europe, is committing suicide.

What we suffer is not an economic or political crisis, but a religious crisis, an apostasy with civilizational consequences. So-called “mass immigration” is not the cause of our ills, but a lethal symptom of a far deeper spiritual disease.

The population replacement advancing at breakneck speed should not be construed as racial but rather as religious and cultural. It is an error, and a concession to the enemy, to frame the battle in ethnic or racial terms.

The root problem is that Europe has renounced its soul, which is Christ the King. As Pope Leo XIII warned: by expelling God from public life There follows a flood of evils such that humanity has never before experienced evils so many or so grave (Sapientiae christianae, 1890). Today we see that flood in our city streets: rootlessness, nihilism, mass immigration…

As the writer Juan Manuel de Prada already warned: “Mass immigration is used as a battering ram to dissolve national identities and usher in a rootless man of the masses, easily manipulated by oligarchic powers” (XL Semanal, 2018). This “man of the masses” is the final product of a society that has expelled God from its squares, its laws, and its hearts.

Nature abhors a vacuum. A continent that has thrown overboard the legacy of Rome and Athens; that has turned its churches into museums and its traditions into folklore for tourists – that continent will inevitably be occupied by peoples with (false) faith, with (erroneous) convictions, and with vigorous demographics (subsidized by white Europeans). The Muslims who arrive on our shores are not the problem; they are the consequence. The problem is the apostasy of Europeans who have preferred the golden calf of consumerism and hedonism over the Cross that forged our civilization.

Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre already pointed out this dynamic: “The conciliar reform is inscribed in a will to accommodate the modern world… which leads to the destruction of the Kingdom of Our Lord.” That destruction, that apostasy, opens the door to other “kingdoms.”

In the face of this panorama, some react by framing the battle in ethnic or racial terms (not to say racist or xenophobic), like the nationalists, identitarians, or fascists. Such a reaction is not only mistaken, it feeds the globalist monster, giving it more fuel to press on with the Great Replacement that those very people claim to fight.

Those who promote this counterproductive reaction see Hispanidad as a problem or as a remnant of a past to be ashamed of. Nothing could be further from the truth. Hispanidad would be part of the solution. Not Hispanidad as mere folklore or as a club of liberal nations, but as Christianitas minor (Elías de Tejada): the remnant of ancient Christendom – Catholic, universal, and missionary. Hispanidad would be the perfect antitoxin against the soulless globalism that drives the Great Replacement, as well as against the racism of those who purport to fight it but who, as useful idiots, end up playing its game. Whereas the current European project rests on a voracious bureaucracy and globalist markets, the project of Hispanidad was built – with its lights and shadows – upon evangelization and the creation of a political space united by Altar and the Throne.

Some nationalists or identitarians claim that Hispanidad no longer exists, having been swallowed up by Protestant sects, by the liberal mentality, and by modern anti-culture (such as reggaeton). But these are the effects of a Modernist hierarchy that abandoned the preaching of Christ to fling itself into the arms of a false liberation theology, or to squeeze the Faith into the narrow mold of the modern world. They are the effects of the conciliar Modernism they defend – once again, in Vázquez de Mella’s apt phrase, “erecting thrones for the causes and gallows for the consequences.” A Modernism that, despite appearances today, will not prevail.

Religious unity is the firmest foundation of political unity. Hispanidad is that space where integration does not mean dilution into a principle-less multiculturalism, but adherence to a higher community of peoples bound by one and the same Faith and the same transcendent end.

We must reopen the doors to Grace to revive our civilization. We must return to the essences that defined us: Tradition, the Altar, and the Throne. Hispanidad, the Christianitas minor, is not a problem; it is a beacon that can guide us back to safe harbor amid this storm that threatens to sink the ship of the West.

Therefore, the Carlist response to the Great Replacement is neither xenophobic retreat (as the nationalists maintain) nor relativistic multiculturalism (as the globalists maintain), but spiritual reconquest. Reconquest under the banner of Hispanidad, that is, under the Cross.
