The Church may be a lover of high-brow art and architecture but its concern for the people always trumps that. What disturbs me is how there can be so many interpretations of traditionalism to fit the meta narratives of self-confessed white supremacists and the like. This seems to be diametrically opposed to the nature of tradition. And while it's true that there were racist Catholics before, their convictions are more the result of their own backwater prejudices than an active initiative of HMC to condemn other races. Why else would the Spanish have gone so far into the world to bring the Faith? And consider too the number of Spanish mestizos in the world, to use an example (admittedly most of these were illegitimate and hush-hush affairs but at least they miscegenated, unlike the British who thought it beneath them to copulate with non-whites). Maybe it's because I'm quite intuitive for a guy, but my spidey senses are telling me that such a model of the so-called "traditionalist church" (floabt)just exudes so much WASPiness. <br /><br />More later after I've gotten some sleep. Geez, I'm tired.Archistrategoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05495771160792293715noreply@blogger.com
