Beat me.

All said, in this interview more clearly than before, we see a paradox in this heroic man: while identity of Europe is Christian, his search for it, and his sinful sacrifice, are manifestation of a pagan mind. Splendid mind, but pagan nonetheless.

Very true. It reminds me of the recent (Norwegian?) mass-murderer.

Europe is entering a post-Christian era. C.S. Lewis predicted that post-Christian paganism would be worse than pre-Christian paganism, since the former would represent an explicit rejection of Christ.

This may sound absurd to modern ears, since we tend to define progress technologically. But Western culture, at the highest levels, is rejecting the natural order itself. Men and women are now considered absolutely equal. Gender is a 'social construct.' And human nature is equated with animal nature, and sometimes even valued less than the earth as a whole.

This can only end in disaster.
