The power of evil

Again and Again

The_Crucifixion

Today we see the power of evil. The might of evil is revealed. We know that the resurrection is coming. We know that Christ will defeat death. We know that Christ will defeat evil and hatred and sin and will grant remission of sins and life eternal. But today – this one day – is filled with evil. This day is filled with darkness. Our church calendar has many red-lettered days. We commemorate many very gruesome events. The early Christian martyrs – and even in recent times – not only died and were not only killed for the Faith, they were tortured and put to a much painful and gruesome death.   But there is only one day in the church year that is filled with darkness and is all black and all night.

But in the might and power of the evil which reigns over this day, is revealed its…

Reactionary Email List

I think it would be a good idea to start an email list for reactionary bloggers to communicate (somewhat) privately, in addition to the things we put on our blogs for public consumption. This would allow us to coordinate our efforts a bit more and give us a place to resolve any disputes that might come up without getting into public flame wars, among other things.

To that end, I’m going to try and start a reactionary email list. The requirements to join will be simple:

I. You must be a reactionary (obviously), which is to say ‘you must be opposed to the agenda of equality and radical autonomy put forward by the mainstream culture of America and the West today’).

II. You must be either personally known to me, or at least somewhat established in the reactionary blogosphere (this is to keep the list free of liberal trolls and the like; I dont require that your blog be old, just that you have one and have made a few worthwhile reactionary posts).

If you’re interested in joining the list, you can send me an email at avengingredhand@yahoo.com, or if you dont mind your email address being public, just leave it in a comment.

This thing, of course, will have to be named. I’m open to suggestions, but my working title is ‘The Golden Circle’.

A Drive-by Attack On Cathedral History

I dont have time for a long post at the moment, but I thought I’d contribute a single blow to the forces tearing down the walls of the Cathedral, specifically the ‘progressive history’ wall:

Committed to protecting the “purity of White Womanhood,” the Klan physically punished those who engaged in immoral behavior, public indecency and drunkenness, wife beating, gambling, adultery, and the failure to support one’s family. Interestingly, the Klan supported women’s suffrage since women could help restore and preserve morality and traditional values by voting for Klan agendas and political candidates.

The Foundations of My Morality, According To YourMorals

This is supposedly a measurement of how much importance I place on 5 ‘foundations of morality’: harm/care, fairness, loyalty, authority, and purity. I was grouped with ‘reaction’ (the scores in grey are reactionary averages). My own scores are in green. The average liberal score is blue and the average conservative score is red.

Interesting stuff.

A Quote on Reaction, From An Intelligent Outsider

 “But every legitimate scientist disagrees with this particular Reactionary belief!” should be said with the same intonation as “But every legitimate archbishop disagrees with this particular heresy.”

–Scott S Alexander, in Reactionary Philosophy In An Enormous, Planet-Sized Nutshell

EDIT:

It’s not quite worthy of a whole other post directly succeeding this one, but this quote from the same source is also worth sharing:

There’s a saying I’ve heard in a lot of groups, which is something along the lines of “diversity is what unites us”. This is nice and memorable, but there are other groups where unity is what unites them, and they seem to be more, well, united.
