Following the Liberation, Jean Ousset became one of the leaders of Cité catholique, an integral Catholic group. The Cité catholique also included Marcel Lefebvre, who later founded the priestly Society of St. Pius X, free from neo-modernist and indifferentist currents. As the Cagoule had done before the war, the Cité catholique had as aim to infiltrate the Republic's elites in order to form a National Catholic state, on the model of Francoist Spain.Sophie Coignard and Marie-Thérèse Guichard, Les Bonnes fréquentations : Histoire secrète des réseaux d’influence (Editions Grasset, 1997)
