Civitas, also known as France Jeunesse Civitas and Institut Civitas, was[1] an association generally considered to be Traditionalist Catholic, integrist,[2][3][4] nationalist,[5] and of the extreme right.[6][7][8][9] The association defines itself as a "Traditionalist Catholic lobby group".[4] The group was once associated with the Society of St. Pius X, but it has evolved under the new leadership of Alain Escada and the "chaplaincy"[further explanation needed] is now provided by Capuchin Friars of Morgon.[10] On February 14, 2023, the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism (GPAHE) released a report in which it classified Civitas as a "religious nationalist", "anti-LGBTQ+", and "conspiracy" group.[11]
