Quote notes (#87)
Following a mysterious blog crash, Jim is back with a concise barn-burner. The conclusion gives a sense of the provocation:
Suppose a neoreactionary becomes a Roman Catholic. Trouble is that the Pope is to the left of Pol Pot. So he can disown the pope, and keep the New Testament, which is kind of protestant of him, or disown the New Testament and keep the pope, which is kind of commie of him.
He wants to be a throne and altar conservative, but all the thrones are empty, and all the altars desecrated, so he winds up worshiping desecration, which is one step away from the New Age worship of demons and the evil dead.
(If any eddies from the subsequent turbulence end up in the comment thread here, they are most welcome.)
My question: What sense of providence comes out of this?
