This which belongs to Caesar

As the social situation of our country seems to specifically announce each month the threat of civil war - recent events that shook the city last week in Grenoble we whisper clearly - It is necessary to consider the spiritual situation in which Catholics will find themselves, since nothing on the horizon that promises a positive change in meteorology policy. While it is still possible to dream the big night, imagine the sudden upturn France and the return of a Christian king. But if hope is a political virtue, the blindness to reality and hard facts as they occur and in some way as we speak, turns easily into sin and exposes the victories was expected to disillusionment and defeat. Now let us imagine that these facts? That the days of empire are over, after Greece and Rome, the West in turn sick too fatal disease, is nearing completion, and that if he lived gigantic and grandiose more a millennium, it is likely, as the name suggests we, know that the sun in this century its setting.

Thus, the Apocalypse of civilization, it is the duty of every Christian to engage in the city anyway, as a Christian, it is also important to know that his Christianity will never be proven according to the rules of the political by nature dependent on a place and time, but above all by the same test of faith, beyond cultures and nations where it is rooted, however. From this perspective, the political imperative ancillary turns into the light of changes that lie ahead and prepare them for a long time coming now. For more than a political crisis, possibly lethal, it is a metaphysical transformation and deposition of the West, as we know, that is to say, as the place of emergence of Christian civilization, which began and which we will face . However, this confrontation will not oppose a policy to another, but pure politics, whose fanatical atheism and radical Islam are the most symptomatic manifestations, this religion of the Incarnation that once reigned here, and that we will find, from a personal point of view, first by us before you want the status of law ... Of course, no thing is fixed, or played once for all, and reason itself us learns that the miracle is possible, but if this is not the catacombs that we will fear is the great look of a civilization in which we would not place where we showed more ... It is preferable to some of the defeats victories ...

other words, threat, at present, is less than the anticipated end of France, Europe, the West, or whatnot, that ghostly relic of a continent that would know nothing else than the political one ... because ultimately, it would simply say that the West would have existed in vain and that his genius, which has distinguished theological of politics, remains a dead letter. Also, they are not Catholics to join the game of politics but, rather, for them to retrieve it up to preserve the faith of its miasma, but it is forbidden for all s' to engage in politics as an animal, to quote Aristotle, while refusing to get lost as a creature of God, and knowing that Christ has not called for soldiers but disciples. In those circumstances, the Christians, more than anyone, it is up to mark clearly the distance, rejecting chimeric commitment theological-warrior, to serve as decidedly not, "the Kingdom is not of this world! " that faith is an order that the policy does not, and if societies collapse and die, God, He guides us still. In short, to "render unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar ... "And there also may save the very idea of politics. Get off the idea of the throne where we may consecrate the idol worshiping better than Christ Himself, to restore it paradoxically its pedigree ... Such is the challenge that we, Catholics, before the reduction to one political symbol times of disaster, arguing that it can serve us, we will win ...

In a passage of his thinking on the "wisdom of love" in Metablog (link-cons), the abbot of Tanouarn evokes, through a brief dialogue, the development chasm that is the face to face between immediate certainty and evidence. Returning for a moment on this prodigious immediate certainty, which is within the spirit of finesse dear to Pascal. Now that the scientistic vision of the world joined the common opinion, and where the opinion itself is gauged in terms of the spirit of geometry surveys, it is only at the cost of cons-sense interview what the immediate certainty. "Knowledge without evidence is really knowledge? "Asks the typical person and usually, the chemist and the free trader.

Yet the immediate certainty is a natural economy of the evidence, because it comes from a willingness to grace first, which is obvious or nothing. This mode of knowledge does not do so for a game between two terms, but three. Unlike exclusively rational knowledge, the link established here between the knower, the object that it wants to know, and an element Outside, decisive, a special light to which human knowledge goes open through the object perceived. Only by virtue of this mediation that certainty can be immediate. Not so for absolute immediacy of human knowledge, whatever the route taken. Let us note also, some scientists attribute to the cognitive ability of the immediate certainty of a genuine rule of pure logic, and dare to assert its mysterious nature and very real.

Since the Fall, our injured condition is now only fragmentary manner that we can benefit from this immediate certainty. But his particular strength is still living man, dependent for him to return to the path of household in his mind its rightful place, in short clutter his mind. Before the fateful mistake, one of the wonders originally assigned to man by the Creator, and the wisdom contained, preternatural precious gift ("The eye of man saw then the majesty of God," says Pascal). But the faculty had specific knowledge as the man in the garden of Eden, it was put at the head of its separate relationship to God. In seeking self-centered, the man then centered quest for thousands of years difficult and risky trial and error. Because in listening to the hiss of the serpent of old ("You shall be as gods!"), Adam had really thought it may reject any mediation, that of its particular author, and find a certainty within himself. In fact certainties, he locked himself in the labyrinth of probabilities. He embarked on a long quiet river no evidence endless specific reason when it comes to his own lights. Enlightenment deductive or inductive, while certainly necessary, but without God's light, lights underground. Rediscovering the light of day.

Culture of immediate knowledge of death, Act II



The disastrous state of our public finances, the growing weight of debt, the need to find new financing could well have the indirect effect in a few semesters of incidentally put on the front of the stage the theme of "right to die with dignity."

The technique used to advance this type of issue (abortion, euthanasia, IVF, etc.). is well known. It operates round of media, a particularly shocking drama (girl pregnant after a rape, disability monstrous suffering parent rock) is exposed to fallacies based fallacies (the Veil law presented as a means prevent illegal abortions or to save a child in the throes of a life doomed to misfortune) is finally proposes a way supposedly middle between two extremes that constitute the complete prohibition and liberalization without control. The famous National Consultative Ethics Committee excels in the latter role.
In a frightening paradox
, abortion and euthanasia are seen as goods, while their opponents are accused of insensitivity. This refusal to call things by their name already revolted the prophet Isaiah: "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness" (Isaiah 5, 20).

As reported by physicians and nurses Christians, we no longer force in many French hospitals, to bring the suffering of sick or elderly. Ask ourselves. Where does this inability of our society to (u) be the person who suffers? It comes at the end, we meet the Holy Father in Spe Salvi, our inability to give ourselves a sense of our own suffering:
"A society that fails to accept its suffering members and is not capable of contribute, through compassion, to ensure that suffering is shared and bear it inwardly is a cruel and inhuman society. However, the company can not accept its suffering members and support them in their suffering, if everyone is not itself capable of this and, secondly, they may not accept the suffering of others if he himself personally fails to find meaning in suffering, a path of purification and maturation, a path of hope. "

The defense of life, which should soon raise again the Catholics, is not only a matter of arguments, speeches and demonstrations. It will first by accepting the mystery of the cross in our own lives.

national identity, without stonewalling

As we think readers impatient or shortsighted, who had not yet the latest issue (No. 3) in the hands, here is the full text of his editorial.



"A universal identity ...?

Basically it's great, it's the only question we ask in this folder on the French identity: that identity is compatible with everything? This is identity "a certain idea of France" which would mean that the Frenchness, to use a neologism nevertheless very convenient, is something purely abstract, based on the republican virtues of liberty, equality and fraternity?

General de Gaulle had not foreseen this use of the idea. For him, a certain idea of France was above a certain way, free and disinterested to serve what he still called the "greatness" of his country. A quantity that was not that of a geographical space (against emerging empires, the French geographical space is very little). Magnitude that was not the economic power (no need to draw a picture). Magnitude corresponding to a legacy, a story that refused to join only the past, a moral and spiritual strength, available at the bedside of every French and that was to mark - why deny it? - A human superiority. Born French is an asset and a blessing, not only because France is part of the rich countries of the West materialized, but because France has a material and spiritual heritage unique. Others, of course, contain such wealth: it is not arrogate exclusive fantasy. But precisely these countries also represent a treasure for those related by birth or by the desire to share something with those who were born there.

Today that "certain idea" Gaullist was profoundly transformed. We did a sort of idealism humanitarian. A returning empty idea at best, through tolerance, to a pure way of being together in difference. Concretely this means that we have endorsed the integration model as a possible national model.

integrationist model discerns communities of belonging within the national community and simply preaches togetherness of communities within the formal framework offered by the republican virtues. This idealistic model has never corresponded with this "certain idea of France" national community that accepts regional communities, but, unlike the Austro-Hungarian Empire, for example, never compound with ethnic communities built as such.

In twenty years we have gone, without warning, the national model for imperial model, the traditional European model to the American model of juxtaposed communities. And this imperial model, we are proud to have passed. It is probably too late to challenge a development if serious consequences. But it's not too late to find behind the low building that would mean the emergence of a sustainable community of France, the strong sense of a France which is conceived as a nation.

's point of view which is that of Christianity, the construction of a community is seen as indicative of an early or late archaic logic, rivaling carrier and violence, with the horizon, let me add, the need to control more and more of a police officer living environment completely broke. Christianity does not think through this community model, which is the imperial model originally as today, but always in the universal "catholic" of radiation that relativized by the principle of ethnic and all social conditioning, "There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free man."

Catholicity of Christianity? That's probably a hidden reason to revive the old complicity between the Church and the nations that John Paul II called - not coincidentally - "great teachers of the people." This is also the most current proposal that the Church, carrying the spirit of Christianity can do in the world. All historical experience of the Roman Church led her to see that universalism is only viable in a lot of similarity, that is to say an idea is always subject to the need for a singular incarnation, it is not in the social field as in religion, universal reality outside of true inculturation as already practiced Gregory the Great in his letters to Augustine of Canterbury, the first apostle of England. John Paul II had been very insistent about it in his posthumous book, Memory and Identity: the true Christian spirit of the relay, these are the nations of old Europe, with their irrepressible individuality and their openness to the universal culture that is Western evolution. And what applies to old Europe is not worth it not for such countries as South America or Africa, where the Church, respecting the customs, even pagan, says serenely its universality always another way, in a Catholic substantially identical? It is basically
respect human substrate that is involved in the establishment of nations, the guardians of political and spiritual alchemy which constructs humanity, our identity. "

The traditional liturgy is in many respects the appointment of all misunderstandings. Opponents as his (fake) friends see it as primarily a research of emotions, fueled by the incense, ornaments, music and sacred language. And it is not uncommon to find these good souls, full of pity, with charity admit that we may well give them, these poor "trade", claiming that their sensitivity. In this profound misunderstanding, it is the "experience" religious, "thanks to which, and without any intermediary, the man with the very reality of God" (Pascendi), which serves as a prism gear.

Now all those seized, one day or another, by the Gregorian Mass know that the opposite of an emotional experience that pierces the Christian. Father Christian Laffargue recounts his discovery: "The ritual seemed distant and incomprehensible, a little tight, austere, hieratic, but very beautiful. The sensitivity was not sought, but the soul was imbued with beauty and faith. "(For the Sake of the Church)

personality of the priest as the faithful disappears behind the actions and words. Readings, prayers are given by the Church. "It's not that we keep the rule is the rule that keeps us. (Bernanos, Dialogue of the Carmelites)

The traditional rite decenters we ourselves, frees us from our inner cinema, our passions, our fantasies, to put ourselves in the presence of the Savior. Psychology truest and most current confirms the benefits of this self-forgetfulness and turned to another and to any other.

Conforms to human psychology, the Roman rite is also co-natural to the most authentic spirituality through the bitterness of human misery, this leads to peace that the world does not.

This is not because he is older than we are committed to the extraordinary rite, because it is modern!

So hay lace, motets and fragrant curls! "The ringtones succeeded: Judith knew they indicated the consecration, the Real Presence. Silence fell, comparable to the original silence even before the world was. It was huge. "(Father Bryan Houghton's marriage Judith)

The enemy of my enemy ...

We know the famous adage that it is possible to gather in time of war, some antagonists in a common cause at the expense of another who has the misfortune to its characteristic of displeasing the first two. Proven tactics and the Second World War illustrates perfectly in combination with the hydra against Nazi organs to Stalin, the U.S. battalions. However, pace Hume, thought of a different order, not a battlefield and it seems wiser to Kampfplatz Kantian, to prefer the Greek agora. Also, we should be wary of credit-so bring on the grounds that under the circumstances, the barbaric methods that we once reproached him, when he attacked us, now he uses it against one of those whose thoughts meant to break our own, seem to gather the support of many, and thus serve our purpose.

In this, Onfray's book devoted to Freud's almost a textbook case as savagely attacking Freud and his minions, he received the votes of the masses, while building a temple psychoanalytic seemed indestructible unanimously honored, except some immediately demonized if they took the sudden urge to give the slightest doubt as to the theories of Viennese physician. He was with the "Black Book of Psychoanalysis," which Michel Onfray has is the conceptual bastion behind which he hides. Behind which he hides, in fact, because as always Onfray intends to give this book scientific value, even though his appearances on television to promote it, suggests the real quality of his theses.

one example, the famous Oedipus complex as the master of the People's University of deviance attributed solely to Freud. Only deviations from Freud nevertheless shared by Sophocles and Shakespeare, including Hamlet fails to give his name to the Oedipus complex. Deviance, finally, that persistent enough all along the western culture so that we can at least be Freud's account the credit of intuition. Therefore, rejoice to see Freud collapsed by Onfray does not satisfy anybody retains the intelligence to the true place of thought, especially since he is not stupid to consider that, if he knows some success, c is certainly less because of probity which he has never shown in any of his previous album, only because, like all sophists, he can speak to the crowd and the crowd the research.

That said, unless you think the philosophy on how to spin the war and yet the metaphor of the Second World War, engaging, mutatis mutandis, in the LVF Onfray of combating communism-Freudian. Commitment that we now know how it ended in humiliation, blood and monstrosity, and finally in the defeat of why they were there to win ... at all costs!

Stumbling blocks

In the adventure of society, the road is littered with these stumbling blocks mentioned by St. Paul in the Epistle to the Romans ("They stumbled against the stumbling block "). But let us immediately by a parenthesis. We know the symbolism of the stone is very present in Scripture. To grasp full scope of our time technician somewhat remote from practical realities, we must not forget that in this symbolism, stone, inert nature, is always considered relative to the movement, the march of humanity toward salvation. So the human adventure that is so examined by the smallest pebble. Among these various symbols, the stumbling block is the obstacle that tripped or fell, it can halt the march. In this regard, it refers to death. In fact, the stone is also the stone of stoning, performed at the time of Christ, and Saint Etienne will suffer under the eyes of one Paul. But, in contrast, the stone is also the vital support, the base, the rock on which the Gospel tells us to build our house. It is the noble material which is made cathedrals. Even more, the cornerstone is Christ. Finally, the cornerstone of the Church, in other words ... the Apostle Peter.

resume. On the scale of our beautiful globalization, less radiant than the proclaimed not long ago the false prophets in fashion, these stumbling blocks sometimes take the form of huge rocks that bounce by devastating situations more established. So these crises that the shock wave continues to have repercussions. Naturally, it's not just economics, not just a crisis of confidence in the value of credit, born one fine day in sunny California misleading. Lehman Brothers should not obscure the anthropological background of the case.

For in this context is an unspoken distrust towards models of community life, from traditional communities thriving in the shadow of the City time to evangelical model of the communion of saints, people began to take the path of these tyrannical impersonal mechanisms that triumph a little more each day. Kerviel you would probably say, between two hearings. We are in an era of astonishing immediate sacred in finitude grotesque, where the life of the real person is convicted without his biological life is threatened. "Fateless", as the title of a book by Imre Kerstesz, as is now required leitmotif general.

Here, small stumbling blocks are the source of major. Lack of momentum to overcome them, they divert the exhilarating road to salvation and, ultimately, transform it into this great march of souls gray "monstrously available" in the words of Bernanos. Available for what? Projects less human futures, always looking for the old idols inside or outside the circular dance with these chimeras to illusory reconstructions that unfold in the depths of the soul or horizons of cardboard. In this headlong rush, and take up the blind investment, standards-tentacles, and self-celebration of the individual flatly consumer, endlessly parodied his true destiny to help deny the weakness of the Fall. Why that old reflex of the leak? Research clumsy new support, a foundation of rock?

fault horizon is wide enough for lack of a "personalistic orientation and community open to transcendence, in the words of" Caritas in veritate ", the text capital appeared here one year and an Echo won is yet to come, that insensibly arises in the masses a desire to alienation. In the same encyclical, Benedict XVI put the emphasis on freedom of the person trampled by large systems too human, to the point of denying the true humanity What about the staff tended to his model, the Christ, the rock, the cornerstone. Christ, in whose person unfolds the mysterious duality of symbols, as is also the main stumbling block for the world, its powers and principalities.

A blog for Respublica Christiana: Christianity today is a Corinthian

Respublica Christiana is in its third edition. She wants a review of ideas showing the dynamism and daring intellectual traditionalist French in Paris. Dynamic, daring, these slogans were to lead us on the Internet. Tollinier Lawrence, who hosts the completion of the review, organize files, control items, today launched this new blog and he asked me a few words about the state of mind in which organized this new virtual adventure .

The Blog will be attached to the site of the Centre Saint-Paul. It will offer new perspectives, discussions with potential for paper publication, as we did for the last issue of the journal publishing the debate on Metablog Oskar Freisinger and a ban on minarets.

Our goal? Defend and illustrate today's Christianity. The liberalism and the bowels bougisme that goes with ideologies are the latest, remaining at the post-sixty-disaffection eighters. What is there after this? Again and again Christianity. We drummed into the ears with post-modernity and it is right: modernity was built against the western Christian tradition. But this tradition, nothing remains today. Sociologically Christendom has disappeared. But spiritually, it is the action in the great quest for meaning through the entrails of the human animal.

"Who knows if the reason for the existence of man would not be in existence Similarly, La Mettrie wrote in this little treatise he called eloquently: The man-machine. Maybe he was thrown at random from a point on the surface of the earth, without being able to know how or why, only that it must live and die, like those of fungi that appear day to another, or the flowers lining the ditches and cover the walls "(ed. Thousand and One Nights, p. 54)

In this perspective, no doubt, we still have to eat ...! "What power of a meal! exclaimed La Mettrie. The joy is reborn in a sad heart, it passes in the soul of the guests who express a kind of songs, where the French excel. The melancholy alone is overwhelmed, and human studies there is cleaner "(p. 25) ... But the normal man finds his salvation. In this perspective, it is true, there is no need blogs or journals: "Let not what we thought but what we should think for the rest of life" (p. 24).

With such principles, it is not surprising that La Mettrie (1709-1751), who was, apparently, the same kindness, died of indigestion after having reached their forties.

As for us, we know that "man does not live by bread alone", we understand instinctively that the bread is not an aim in itself but a means at the most. And that's what we want for our attention to "what is really worth," as Socrates says to Callicles at the end of the Gorgias.

The drama of the society in which we are, that it no longer makes the distinction between ends and means. We are in "the kingdom of means," as Marcel De Corte diverting the famous "Kingdom of ends" of Kant. We must seek, we must find purpose. Through

this blog, we hope that everyone, Catholic, Christian, or single researcher christianophile meaning, can find something to satisfy that appetite to know who is the first of all appetites, of which he is unable to make the economy without ceasing be a man. We also want you, readers encounter, you can express yourself and to speak on this Blog in a truly cross-fertilization. So that everyone finds the Shoe Fits is a team of editors who regularly feed these columns.

you soon then.
