History
The term "Neo-Catholicism" or "Neo-Catholic" was first used, in 2002, in a controversial book called The Great Façade: Vatican II and the Regime of Novelty by traditionalist Catholics Christopher A. Ferrara and Thomas A. Woods, Jr, as a term for writers who opposed traditionalist Catholicism. It later increased in usage with another book,The Neo-Catholics, Implementing Christian Nationalism in America by Betty Clermont, using the term in the title. The term was originally used by traditionalist Catholics to describe other Catholics that have a particular set of theological opinions and political ideologies opposed to most traditionalist Catholics.
