Episode 138 — The Catholic Land Movement: Faith, Land, and the Fight for the Future w/Michael Thomas

On this episode of The Backlash, we sit down with Michael Thomas, leader of the Catholic Land Movement, to break down one of the most ambitious and practical responses to the cultural and economic unraveling of the modern world.What does it actually look like to rebuild society from the ground up—rooted in faith, family, and land?Michael lays out the three core principles driving the movement:Localism — breaking free from fragile global systems and returning to self-sufficient, community-based living.Subsidiarity — restoring proper order by pushing decision-making down to the lowest competent level: families, parishes, and local communities.Solidarity — rejecting atomization and rebuilding real bonds of mutual obligation, sacrifice, and shared mission.We also dive into the four concrete goals of the Catholic Land Movement, and how they plan to turn these principles into reality—not as theory, but as a lived, boots-on-the-ground model for Catholics and families looking for a way forward.This isn’t just philosophy—it’s a roadmap.If the current system is failing, what replaces it?And more importantly… who is actually building it?Follow the Catholic Land Movement:Website: https://catholiclandmovement.info/X: https://x.com/CatholicLandFollow Michael on X: https://x.com/MichaelTG09————————————————————————————Brought to you by Above Time Coffee Roasters, Atlas Bullion, Idaho Tallow, and Antelope Hill Publishing & ODGG Supply.————————————————————————————SEND US SNAIL MAIL:P.O.
