Entry: Postmodern, Not Hypermodern: Russell Kirk Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/postmodern_not_hypermodern_russell_kirk#14218 Post contents: Mr. Purcell, I don't believe that Kirk ever wrote what you claim. The fact that you can't find the source troubles me. At best, you have misunderstood him. I am not engaging in some sort of anti-Catholic rant here. My point is merely to try to explain why someone not brought up a Catholic would have difficulty with certain Catholic practices. Years ago, like Kirk, I had considered conversion too, but I could never bring myself to think of Mass the way that Purcell does. It is just not in me and such things cannot be explained through reason. This is not a criticism, just an observation. Although I don't know Kirk's heart, I suspect he wasn't fully convinced either.
