ex cathedra: Just sayin'

Just sayin'

A quite orthodox monsignor in New York offers some historical background to the brand-spanking new Catholic teaching that, in rabbinical fashion*, effectively outlaws capital punishment. It is clear, if you know how traditional Catholics argue, that he does not buy it, but he can't and won't say that in public. His interesting article is an orthodox way of sayin' "Just sayin'."

*The rabbis found ways to nullify certain Mosaic laws while appearing to accept them, by loading them up with so many conditions that they never get enacted. The most famous is the divine command in Deuteronomy which calls for the public stoning of a rebellious teenager.

Toward Our Future

What the sons of Europa need is a new religion: one that is as tribal, portable and survivalist as Judaism, as masculine, terrestrial and tough as Islam and as intellectually and aesthetically creative as Christianity...with a dose of the unflinching realism of the ancestral ways of the Greeks and Romans, Germans and Celts and Slavs..And for the larger Indo-European frame, something of the Indian capacity to combine an ultimate and philosophical realization of The One with a robustly mytho-poetic religion on-the-ground. Oh, and some of the psychological acumen of Buddhism.

Liberalism's Basic Flaw

Liberals believe that the chief role of the State is to force everyone to be equal, (ie, take vengeance on the successful). So when they are confronted with any group that they deem less well off than themselves, they are morally disarmed, completely and utterly. Any group that can achieve Victim Status is on their way to power and the (White) liberal's only job is to give them what they want, no matter how much that damages him. And nothing may ever be expected, much less demanded, of them in return. It's a recipe for suicide: no other outcome is possible.
