The American Conservative Revolution | Page 3 | Phora Nova
Dear Mac,
The only way, in retrospect, that i can be alright with the American Revolution is that it was a seperation from Guelph rebels who had themselves turned against the Roman Imperium.
Anyway, happy Patriot’s day.
Remember that the entire hemisphere celebrates, with Russia, the outcome of 1812. The French Revolution had its good and bad points — as a peasant revolt by a Roman substrate population against their Frankish overlords, it makes a certain amount of sense. But then we have Napoleon… who uprooted Roman Civil Law (leaving only Scotland and Lousiana as relics of it), and of course invaded the Ukraine
I think what the Founding Fathers proved both by their Wisdom and their Folly is that Heretics cannot form a stable government in the long run, because they do not have a clear sense of what the ‘Salus Populi’ even is, because of a failed understanding of Anthropology and Ecology, etc.
Only Holy Orthodoxy can save this Hemisphere and Country, is my current understanding. A bit sharpened now by events of 2020-2025.
When Pascha is over, I will sharpen my points about Palamism implicit in my mention of Sherrard on this thread, but on which I have yet to expand: https://thephora.net/phoranova/inde…lism-in-orthodox-christianity-and-islam.1941/
