I really like all of ArchBishop Marcel Lefebvre's books ^-^.
He looks like The Goose
>>25512055They have Uncrowned Him is the best book he's written that goes over the scandalous actions which the representatives of Rome treated the seminarians in Écône. It really shows his charitable mind as he never knew *why*, the sense that the investigators of Rome had some conspiracy against all the forms of "Traditional" thinking (notice that there is no such thing as "Traditional Catholicism", there's only Catholicism), but never made any full on accusations against them. So to get a picture of what Rome was doing, and still is doing, was that they've been trying to downplay the literal (material), symbolic, and spiritual sufferings of Christ as the Vatican thought it was too much for the none Catholic and even the Catholic himself, hence the book title. - Although not at the same level but still an attack of traditional prayers, Rome recently removed some imprecatory Psalm about casting down with violence within the Liturgy of the Hours (new calender one ofc) for no stated reason other than they don't want the diocesan priests to have meany thoughts...
>>25512116>It really shows his charitable mind as he never knew *why*NTA, don't know if you know French but in his public talks he mentions freemasons here and there. Talks about the ideas spread since the Revolution (liberalism, "zionism" (after he got in trouble for supposed "racist" remarks he said Jews are the real racist since they have always wanted to exterminate the Christian race), etc). He points to what Pius X said to show that the Church had been getting infiltrated for a while. Then blames weak popes who allowed themselves to be manipulated (Pius XI, John XXIII and after). He had a meeting with John Paul II I think (he also had one with Paul VI so idk if it's the same one) where he talks about the pope seeming okay with allowing the latin mass, only to instantly change his tune in real time once somebody told him to. He also supported Petain and expressed his admiration for some othrt collaborationist figures (he even had a talk with one where all they did was ring the alarm on mass immigration and islam, but the talk in itself was too short for it to be interesting t b h), as well as for the dictatorship in Argentina. And although he has never read Maurras, when someone told him that he wasn't in heaven, he jokingly said that he may be in Purgatory then.All this to say he's a noooticer, just not one versed enough in politics or schizophrenic conspiracies to be able to make such a bold public accusation in one of his books, and always just says "oooh they might be, but I don't know, please refer to what Leo XIII and Pius X said, but me personally ooh I don't know, I just follow the catholicism I was taught." Also he consecrated Richard Williamson kek.

>taught myself french to read without relying on a translators interpretation >tfw it’s almost identical to the English translation and I wasn’t really missing anything feels like I’ve totally wasted my time.
>>25513395As a fellow ESL, how do you feel about reading non-English books in English despite them being translated into your language?
>>25504185Of course it is. But in Spanish?...
>>25513500In all honesty i prefer reading almost everything in english than my mother tongues(greek, albanian) I've immersed myself so fully in the language for more than half my life where i feel i've reached as near native an understanding one could reach. When all the books,articles i've ever read besides public education were done in english why should it feel better reading in greek . My relationship with my native languages is purely utilitarian , i;ve distanced myself so much to modern greek culture and its people where i feel closer to an english and a french person that a greek one. And besides greek translations are not on par with what french and english publications offer. The only exception would be ancient greek where even there while it'd be easier to render an ancient text in modern greek the scholarly work is more trustworthy in french and german sources. To come back to your question reading translations in modern greek feels weird ,like a concoction of words and ideas whiich i've never encountered outside the printed page , an apax legomenon which i for some reason know the meaning but cant appreciate it. Of course im the wrong person to ask ,i always carried this childish desire since a kid to remove myself as far away from here where in the future i'd hear my parents talk to me but not be able to understand them. When you're ashamed of saying something say it in english they say. Well english got too comfotable so im seeking refuge in French
I despise the english language and I hate that I have to lower myself to use it on this site. It makes me feel unclean.

Why is Tradtionalism so Islamo-centric when Hindu texts were what started the movement?
>>25513378>In popular discourse there are oft-repeated claims that Guenon thought only Sufism/Islam was accessible to westerners and that Hinduism was totally off limits, but this is never actually true and he never said this. Certain Muslim trads like Schuon play this up and put words in his mouth which he never said. The schools of Hinduism closely rooted in the Vedas and ties intimately to the caste system like Vedanta are off-limits for westerners to formally participate, how Agamic/Tantric Hinduism exists in parallel to this and is fully open to westerners and non-Indians, the Tantric scriptures say women, shudras, foreigners etc can be initiated if they are mature/ready etc and westerners have been initiated into various Tantric shaivist schools before and even risen to senior ranks in some organizations.One can only reason why he converted to Sufism, but I think i know why.The reason he didn't convert to Hinduism is because it internets with the tradition itself even though he was well versed in itThe reason he was not catholic is because it is heading into/is in modernityThe reason he was not orthodox even though he spoke highly of it, was because the political situation of the nations at the time and its anti intellectual movementThe reason he was not taoist/other is because he is too foreign/far, requires to much steps and is to convoluted to get initiated intoThe reason he was Muslim/sufi is because all he needed to do is cross the Mediterranean sea and learn Arabic, pretty simple
>>25513336>Why is Tradtionalism so Islamo-centricJust because Guenon and other converted to Islam doesn't necessarily make it Islamicate >when Hindu texts were what started the movement?You have never actually read a book about Traditionalism have you
>>25513336Iirc Guenon claimed it as the last "tradition" that still offered serious insights to westerners. You could make several disingenuous claims about him based on this but his general thought skews in the direction of Islam.Evola wound up pulling a Guenon Kaliyuga style fuckup with Islam and claimed all living Muslims had rejected Islam based on some political skirmishes or something Muslims don't take seriously. Evola also thought Islam was too passive even though it had a lengthy record of conflict, I don't remember how he weaseled his way around this one but there isn't much point in taking his ideas seriously on the topic.Any of the remaining tradlarps are likely inconsequential, or if they converted it's not relevant what they had to say.
>>25513537>Evola wound up pulling a Guenon Kaliyuga style fuckup with Islam and claimed all living Muslims had rejected Islam based on some political skirmishes or something Muslims don't take seriously.

>>25513540Then if he converted his opinions would be just as worthless. He also had issues cognizing how Islam has developed, jihad is closest to an undertaking, at some point this was turned into war and Evola basically tries to loop in at this point without understanding how the word is filtered. There could be 2 types and one is significantly less important than the other. He also would have extreme difficulty with Hadiths, on judgement day a scholar could outweigh a martyr, and this would likely ruin his opinions. Basically he can't recognize how the authority is decentralized. His opinions are worthless, you can stick to historical parallels of Rome and remain westernized and thoroughly modern in both the liberal and postmodern sense or convert in which case all of his opinions are still trash. >there is no reason to take any of Evola's ideas on this seriously.

Stop shilling your crap, Yeager. This is nothing but 12-year-old edgelord crap. Also, it occurred to me that Amygdalatropolis' major story beats were all patterned after Houellebecq's "Whatever".• Both feature incels employed in the technology field.• Whatever's narrator contemplates having sex with one of his clients, but can't bear to actually do it. Its narrator fantasizes about slipping a roofie to his mother and raping her, and comes close, but can't go through with it.• Whatever's narrator seethes about sexual liberation and how it's left him sexually destitute. Its narrator is such an incel that he literally can't get it up anymore.• Whatever's narrator is hospitalized for a heart condition. Its narrator experiences both of his parents dying from cancer.• Whatever's narrator tries to talk his friend into killing a woman that they encountered at a night club. Its narrator orders a sex doll and, instead of having sex with it, rips it to pieces while screaming about how it's a slut.• Whatever's narrator ends up in a mental institution. Its narrator completely loses his mind and destroys his house in an attempt to repel a centipede infestation.• At the end, Whatever's narrator tries to unwind by vacationing in the forest. Its narrator tries to unwind by looking at a bunch of webcams showing pastoral areas.Plus it tries to be edgy, by doing stuff that has became boring a long time ago.• The narrator tries to fuck his mom. But that was done about 2500 years ago in "Oedipux Rex" by Sophocles.• The narrator watches a video of someone drowning a baby. But that was done in 1960 in "Rabbit, Run" by John Updike.I could go on, but bleah.So not only did you not transcend 12-year-old edgelord crap, but you couldn't even come up with an original plot.

>>25511287The blank verse of Milton to that of Tennyson is like comparing a real medieval castle to a bouncy hosuse.
>>25511300>The best of the school of poets at present received in Great Britain and America is Alfred Tennyson. He is the bard of ennui and of the aristocracy and their combination into love. This love is the old stock love of playwrights and romancers, Shakspeare the same as the rest. It is possessed of the same unnatural and shocking passion for some girl or woman, that wrenches it from its manhood, emasculated and impotent, without strength to hold the rest of the objects and goods of life in their proper positions. It seeks nature for sickly uses. It goes screaming and weeping after the facts of the universe, in their calm beauty and equanimity, to note the occurrence of itself, and to sound the news, in connection with the charms of the neck, hair, or complexion of a particular female.>Poetry, to Tennyson and his British and American eleves, is a gentleman of the first degree, boating, fishing, and shooting genteely through nature, admiring the ladies, and talking to them in company with that elaborate half-choked deference that is to be made up by the terrible license of men among themselves. The spirit of the burnished society of upper-class England fills this writer and his effusions from top to toe. Like that, he does not ignore courage and the superior qualities of men, but all is to show forth through dandyfied forms. He meets the nobility and gentry half-way. The models are the same both to the poet and the parlors. Both have the same supercilious elegance, both love the reminiscences which extol caste, both agree on the topics proper for mention and discussion, both hold the same undertone of church and state, both have the same languishing melancholy and irony, both indulge largely in persiflage, both are marked by the contour of high blood and a constitutional aversion to any thing cowardly and mean, both accept the love depicted in romances as the great business of a life or a poem, both seem unconscious of the mighty truths of eternity and immortality, both are silent on the presumptions of liberty and equality, and both devour themselves in solitary lassitude. Whatever may be said of all this, it harmonizes and represents facts. The present phases of high life in Great Britain are as natural a growth there as Tennyson and his poems are a natural growth of those phases. It remains to be distinctly admitted that this man is a real poet, notwithstanding his ennui and his aristocracy.
