Entry: Ron Paul and Pius IX Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/ron_paul_and_pius_ix#16237 Post contents: An outstanding article by Mr Z, and good reflective thoughts by Brother André Marie (Boyd Cathey?). Toryism needs to be about re-Establishment, with a degree of toleration for minority Dissenters and Non-Conformists as to their interior worship. <i>"In the book, I point out how Röpke synthesized the insights of classical economics and liberalism with what is best in the European Right—the Counter-Enlightenment, the Agrarian and Distributist movements, and the regionalist resistance to centralizing bureaucracies."</i> He was, in short, a Christian Democrat and follower of real Catholic Social Teaching. <i>"So the only logical response of Christians must be to try to shrink it."</i> Join the League of the South, Mr. Z. Failure to recognize the imperative of “shrinking” is the error of Sam-Franciscanism. Once North America returns to a confederation of sovereign poleis, some of these poleis will have Establishment, with Eliot’s <i>The Idea of a Christian Society</i> as the blueprint, -- with this proviso, that The State (if there is a State) of a polis cannot control The Church, the error of Caesaropapism, Erastianism, Gallicanism/Cisalpineism, Josephism, and Horney Henry (VIII).
