The National Catholic League (Gaeilge: Conradh Caitliceach Náisiúnta), commonly abbreviated to either NCL or CCN[b] was a Falangist and National Radicalist party in the Roscami Federation, and at its peak the largest in the state. The National Catholic League was founded as the United Front after the Patriotic Revolution ended with a Catholic victory. The party was a founding member of the Roscami Democratic Patriotic Front.
The National Catholic League at its peak the majority of the federal government, as well as the provinces. The first and only Paramount Leader of the NCL was Thomas Jacobs. It operated branches across several micronations, including Scynja.
History
The National Catholic League was founded on the 17th of January 2023, after as the second half of the 2023 Roscami coup d’etat executed by Ali Farrokhzad against the left wing succeeded. After Thomas Jacobs given back the office of President by Farrokhzad, he quickly founded the United Front to reorganise the members of the former Republican Bloc into a new political force. Serving as an anti-capitalist and anti-communist movement, the United Front soon became the largest party. The United Front participated in the January gubernatorial elections, losing most races.
In February, the United Front won the final chamber of representatives election, defeating its opponents. After the passing of the new constitution, the United Front became a founding member of the RDPF.
In July, the United Front was renamed the National Catholic League, and changed ideology to a more radical party. The rump left-wing individuals who had previously been in the party were promptly expelled. In the August congressional elections, the party won a majority of votes.
In September, Jacobs retitled himself Paramount Leader of the League, in reference to the former de facto position. The party adopted National Radicalism in October 2023, and added Falangism in February 2024. Party leader Thomas Jacobs created Victory Roscamistan! as the official newspaper of the National Catholic League on the 10th of February.
In June 2024, Jacobs would formally leave micronationalism, and proclaimed the National Catholic League dissolved, disavowing Fascism.
Ideology
The National Catholic League was at its core National Radicalist, being extremely pro-Catholic in its social Outlook and supported a Workers rights based economy.
The party had also stated its competent of Democracy, Liberalism, Marxism, Feminism and Individualism, and supported an authoritarian Catholic corporatist state.
Economics
The National Catholic League based its economic belief in Catholic Distributism, State Socialism and Corporatism. The party was pro-trade union, supporting the National Roscami Workers League. NCL politicians were responsible for the majority of labour legislation in Roscamistan.
Society
The National Catholic League advocated for a traditional society influenced under Catholic social teaching. The party viewed smoking, recreational drugs, transgender ideology, and communism to be anti-Roscami and degenerate, instead focusing on a society which put health and faith first.
Foreign policy
The foreign policy of the NCL largely concerned Roscami supremacy in the Galway Sector and anti-imperialist measures elsewhere. It was involved in aiding fascist movements throughout the micronational world [2].
Support for the party
The party drew its support from the establishment, the working class and Irish residents. The party’s leader Thomas Jacobs was concurrently Chairman of the Roscami Democratic Patriotic Front and President of the Federation.
Youth organisation
The party operated the Young Roscami Movement, an organisation for those under 14 in the party. Formerly, it was an affiliate of the Republican Bloc.
Organised labour
The majority of National Roscami Workers League members were affiliated with the National Catholic League. The National Catholic League had been pivotal in creating modern labour legislation.
International
The NCL operated other divisions abroad; for example the National Catholic League - Scynja operates on the NCL’s behalf in Scynja. The National Radicalist League in Östruck was a nominally independent organisation, but takes heavy influence from the NCL.
Newspaper
Victory Roscamistan! was the official newspaper of the National Catholic League. It published explicitly pro-NCL propaganda and articles, as well as insulting what it called “enemies of Roscamistan”. It publishes monthly.
Though officially a non-biased news source, Galwegian News Network was ran majority by NCL members and as such, pro-NCL narratives had become more mainstream through GNN.
Party manifesto
A Call to Arms, short for The Manifesto of the National Catholic League- A Call to Arms is a short online booklet published by Thomas Jacobs, that was the manifesto of the party. A Call to Arms covered multiple topics, and the views of the National Catholic League on said topics prior to July 2023.
Work for the manifesto began on 6 February 2023, though the basis for it was in late January 2023 after the Patriotic Revolution[3]. A second manifesto was in the works but has since been cancelled.

-
United Front propaganda published after the party’s foundation
-
Anti-Ballinfoyleburg propaganda published by the party in wake of the Conquest of Ballinfoyleburg.

A meme created by Thomas Jacobs and endorsed by the NCL celebrating his victory on the 17th of January, saying "When your coup fails and the next day you do the greatest comeback in history", poking fun at both Pedro Castillo and the Roscami left wing.
-
March 2024 propaganda detailing the effort to rid Roscamistan of communism.
Notes
- ↑ A sizeable portion of Republican Bloc members joined the newly formed United Front (now National Catholic League). However, there is no legal basis that the Republican Bloc is the precursor of the National Catholic League. Therefore it is only treated as a precursor informally.
- ↑ Founded as the United Front (UF). In Irish; Fhronta Aontaithe (FA).
