[Zionist Conspirator]

Unfortunately, the reference to the "unjust war" indicates a belief in "Jewish influence" as the hidden cause of modern individualism. Plus the publication in which this appeared is militantly anti-Israel, as if Israel were the cause of all the things criticized.

I wonder if the publishers of this magazine have the same solicitude for Catholic Mexican Mestizos that they do for moslem Arabs?

And lest anyone think that my criticisms make me an apologist for modernism, please allow me to say that the implication of the remark about the "unjust war" hurts an otherwise worthy article that makes excellent points against the idea of the "true religion" constantly progressing and "improving" over time.

Chronicles Magazine is an execrable publication.

It is a depressing, traitorous "palaeoconservative" rag edited by the most pompous ass in American journalism.

Thomas Fleming's only competition on the egometer is that wanker who used to run Harper's - Lewis Lapham.

And, not surprisingly, their politics have converged over the years.

The Catholicism that makes its pages from time to time savors of schism: one of the people at the top of Chronicles' enemies list is Richard John Neuhaus of First Things.
