Under the aegis of Saint Alberto Hurtado it was responsible for the founding of the Chilean Trade Union Association. Azione Cattolica is probably the most active Catholic Action group still around today. Catholic Action was particularly well suited to Italy where Catholic party political action was impractical, firstly under the Anti-Clerical Savoyard regime from 1870 until about 1910 and later under the Fascist regime which prohibited independent political parties. The present association "Azione Cattolica" was founded in 1867 by Mario Fani and Giovanni Acquaderni with the name of "Società della Gioventù Cattolica Italiana" (Italian Catholic Youth Society), then reformed during the Mussolini regime when the association was structured into 4 sectors and was called Azione Cattolica. Catholic Action was organised in many other countries, including:       Big Bad John  "Big Bad John" is a country song originally performed by Jimmy Dean, who wrote and composed it in collaboration with Roy Acuff. It was released in September 1961 and by the beginning of November it had gone to number one on the "Billboard" Hot 100. It won Dean the 1962 Grammy Award for Best Country & Western Recording, and was nominated for the Grammy Award for Song of the Year. The song and its sequels tell a story typical of American folklore, reminiscent of Paul Bunyan or John Henry. "Big Bad John" was also the title of a 1990 television movie starring Dean. The song tells the story of a mysterious and quiet miner who earned the nickname Big John because of his height, weight, and muscular physique. (""He stood six foot six and weighed 245".") He supposedly came from New Orleans, where, with "a crashin' blow from a huge right hand", he allegedly killed a man over a Cajun Queen. One day, a support timber cracked at the mine where John worked. The situation looked hopeless until John "grabbed a saggin' timber, gave out with a groan / and like a giant oak tree just stood there alone", then "gave a mighty shove", opening a passage and allowing the 20 other miners to escape the mine. Just as the other miners were about to re-enter the mine with the tools necessary to save him, the mine fully collapsed and John was believed to have died in the depths of the mine. The mine itself was never reopened, but a marble stand was placed in front of it, with the words "At the bottom of this mine lies one hell of a man – Big John."
