Orwell also rejected the romanticism of nature: “The fact is that those who really have to deal with nature have no cause to be in love with it.”

That's a fact, something the city dwelling Sierra Clubbers don't understand.

Either it must be Anglo-Catholicism pure and simple – or rather, pure and not simple; or he must be daringly modern and broad-minded and preach comforting sermons providing there is no Hell and all good religions are the same. Incidentally, Jesus would agree.

When an author loses his mount out of the gate, there is no reason to read further.

He presents us with false choices: Anglo-Catholicism or liberal (apostate) "christianity." Calvinists argue this way as well: They say it's either Calvinism or Armenianism, as if there is no other possibility.
