As explicated by Russell Kirk in his book THE CONSERVATIVE MIND.<br /><br />I truly don't care about "paleo" or "neo" when it comes to conservatves.<br /><br />Sincerely, Sean M.

Sean dear,
it's a jo...Bing! we have a winnah!<br /><br />Sean dear,<br /><br />it's a joke ...<br /><br />and judging from your earnestly outraged reaction, it's on you. <br /><br />But since we seem to be so interested, the real answer to the satanists-in-the-Vatican question is: who gives a shit? <br /><br />Is there anything we can do about it? Does it make the slightest difference to you or to me in doing our jobs? <br /><br />Of *course* there are satanists in the Vatican. If you were Stan, what would be your FIRST (since we're so fond of our caps key) job?<br /><br />For Pete sake. What do you think he does on his weekends? <br /><br />BTW: one of the first signs of a neo-con is their feverish insistence that the distinction is specious and "divisive" and one of their fondest pet arguments is that we should all concentrate on "orthodoxy". <br /><br />cf: my mockery of Shea, above.HJWnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15895111.post-67433379662817070702010-03-07T08:09:15.997+01:002010-03-07T08:09:15.997+01:00Hi, Hilary Jane!

I'm far more concerned that we all be ORTHODOX in faith and morals.<br /><br />As for Fr. Amorth, I eventually decided he was a crank to whom we should not pay much attention. About the only good book in English about exorcism/demonic possession is Malachi Martin's HOSTAGE TO THE DEVIL (pub. before MM himself went off the rails). <br /><br />Yes, I believe Satan is real and that SOMETIMES demons can take possession of human beings. I don't understand why so many have a hard time accepting the existence of Satan. If you believe God exists, I fail to see why you should boggle at Him creating ANGELS, whether good or evil.<br /><br />As for Fr. Amorth saying some members of the Curia are Satanists, he should remember it is a sin to slander others. UNLESS, of course, he can PROVE his charges. In that case those charges should be investigated.<br /><br />From the Pope on down, we are ALL sinnners in need of repenting and the mercy of God.<br /><br />Sincerely, Sean M.
