The Counterrevolutionary and Royal Army of America (CRAA) is a contemplative based initiative dedicated to the reign of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Social Kingship of Christ through the Catholic Monarchy and in the friendship and sisterly care of Ste. Jehanne d'Arc and Ste. Therese de l'Enfant Jesus. The CRAA is inspired directly by the Armee Catholique et Royale, an 18th century counterrevolutionary movement from the Vendee/Bocage region of western France during the French Revolution. The "heart" of the CRAA is a desire to work in the friendship and sisterly care of Ste. Jehanne d'Arc and Ste. Therese de l'Enfant Jesus for the Social Kingship of Christ and the reign of the Immaculate Heart of Mary through a Catholic Monarchy. We are devoted to the restoration of the French Catholic Monarchy along with all Catholic Monarchies of Christendom, and even the establishment of a Catholic Monarchy in the United States."
