Nah dont recall
But every little thing has effect on something
Voicing this for example, vs not, but still not going
I think it is more significant it was considered a legit excuse by his fellows
yeah for sure
Apathy is the antithesis of faith it would seem
Why am I not metal?
question: is Clerical Fascism an oxymoron?
Seems like most "Clerical" Fascists were closer to post-Christian integralists than anything authentically Christian
and most knew it as well
Clerical fascism = merely a fascism whose leaders are religious
but take Codreaunu for example
and his followers
They knew they were more pagan than orthodox in some sense
For Codreanu and those similar to him
I think that what is most important is the protection of the spiritual sentiments of the majority, in his chase, majority, "faith of the polis"being Romanian Orthodox Church
Needless to say, serving as a valid spiritual counter-axis to the opposing (in his opinion) currents, those of modernity and Judaism
To him, it was important to cure the nation of it's godlessness, namely it's lack of spiritual
fascism in any form rejected semitic Christianity outright
its whether they were neopagan or feudal Christian is where the differences lie
but take Maurras for example
Very open about feudal Christianity just being, essentially a noble myth of utility and not take it's esoteric beliefs seriously
also why evola coined 'catholic pagan'
Catholic reaction was the typical example of "I made a terrible mistake" too late reaction to the mess they brought up themselves
However, deep down, I don't think it's purpose was backward at all, but simply reactionary perhaps in face of an overwhelming current
Catholic Church wanted to protect the "universal" which was not mind you cosmopolitan, as Evola correctly understood
so i assume now that the church is currently gasping for air, it doesn't make much sense to ever return to Christianity
as a Fascist
in Catholic doctrine, Universal was comparableto that of Hindu faith, which did not interfere with local differences
Church is finished, it does not exist
What we are witnessing now is completely unrelated to the Church I am talking about
Just as in Hindu faith you had for example, a sacred language Sanskrit
so in Catholic faith you had Latin
in some way, Catholicism could be quite racial at times, but not in Chamberlainian-Grantian way, but preciselly in Evola's vision of race
operating word *at times*
Also, Catholicism wanted to protect the priestly caste from profanity, integration, inclusion and relegation to base ideals
However, unlike Hindu caste, it lacked the bloodline succession
Relying instead on recruitment, which necessarily leads to devolvement, and promotion of men of letters, who as a rule drifts towards rhetorical, and hence, towards that which represents involution
