Entry: Pagans are devout; Straussians not so much Link: http://www.takimag.com/sniperstower/article/pagans_are_devout_straussians_not_so_much#23290 Post contents: "The big question in my mind is whether the concept of Christianity itself leads to our modern condition and if so, is this an inevitable outcome?" No. The people who answer otherwise are up to no good. When Christianity was strongest, there was no "modern condition" to worry about. That said, Roman Catholicism's fatal mistake pushed us into this mess. Rather than do necessary reforms, the Pope pit Christendom against itself, leading to bloody war and the rise of the Modern state. Worse, Rome made one concession after another to modernity and these things are now called "Holy Tradition." There would have been no French Revoluion if the ancien regime wasn't crap in the first place. Sent at: 2008 11 23
