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#23346 Post contents: To Mr Newland: Now, now, how can you imagine that I recommend imprisonment for Thomists? That is truly ridiculous. If I oppose the attempt of Italian leftists to put Julius Evola on trial for stirring up fascism, why would I support oppression of Aquinas's heirs? As for your 2nd point, yes, there were Christians who supported the separation of church and state before the Reformation, but they made little impact on the church hierarchy of their time (except in prison cells). Like it or not, we all benefit from the Anglo-American Enlightenment in achieving (at least until the radically secularist 20th c) this separation. Sent at: 2008 08 21
