Christian Order is a British-based monthly magazine for Traditionalist Catholics[1] which was described by John Beaumont of Fidelity magazine in 1996 as "most influential of the conservative Catholic journals in the United Kingdom".[2]

It was originally devoted to the Catholic response to social issues, taking a distributist stance sceptical of the welfare state.[3][4] In the 1970s a number of contributors were attracted such as George Telford (former vice-chairman and Secretary to the Catechetical Commission of the Bishops of England and Wales)[5] and the lay author Michael Davies.[6]

The magazine's rationale is presented in confrontational terms: Template:Quote

The Neocatechumenal Way is criticized in the magazine as "heretical" (Lutheran) and a "Trojan horse" in the Church.[7][8] In an article published in the magazine, CJ O'Hehir described Ireland as "the most anti-Catholic Catholic country in the world, and the most monolithically liberal of the world's democracies."[9] The magazine has republished articles from Daylight, the magazine of the Catholic creationist Daylight Origins Society.[10][11]

It has been criticised by Searchlight magazine for having among its contributors "extremists" (including John Vennari), a "race-baiter" (E. Michael Jones) and an "antisemitic conspiracist" (Robert Sungenis),[12] and the website Catholic Culture suggests that its contents should be looked at in "a critical light" due to "a bias against Church leaders, Vatican II, and the New Mass."[13]
