Entry: Is There Conservatism Beyond Christianity? (or how to book a mental vacation in Athens or Valhalla) Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/is_there_conservatism_beyond_christianity_or_how_to_book_a_mental_vacation#23260 Post contents: "Dorothy Day “Catholic Social Teachings” movement and certain alleged mystical encounters at Fatima,..." Dorothy Day founded the Catholic Worker movement and lived a life of radical othodoxy sustained by the Eucharist. I think she is arguably the quintessential paleo, even though much of the current day CW movement lacks her insight and genuine piety. The mystical nature of God's presence in our lives manifests itself in countless ways. Pity those who either dismiss it due to doubt, or exploit it for personal aggrandizement. "I fully agree with Grant Havers’ attempt to call attention to the specifically Protestant roots of the American founding." Agreed. As a Catholic, I am very grateful to my hosts and know, despite some profound differences, we must strive for unity against both the secular juggernaut and the Islamic jihad. Sent at: 2008 09 07
