I mean, maybe? It's a thing you seek, but it's up to the judgment of posterity if you achieve it, I suppose.

John Paul II is sometimes considered a mystic as well, in more modern times.

This is probably a big reason why Catholics are always anti-liberal/illiberal. Even the left-wing ones have critiques of liberalism.

Frankly, if there's anything that takes down liberalism it's probably going to be the Catholic Church. They did already take down communism. The question is, who will be liberalism's John Paul II? It's definitely not going to be Francis.

No, but hear me out.

We are all in a general agreement that the Modern world, the world birthed by the Enlightenment and the Reformation, is fundamentally opposed to Christ, and opposed to God. I speak of course of the Liberal world order, which posits the absolute freedom of the human individual to do as they choose, unmoored from creed or commitment. This is of course of the Devil, and it has directly resulted in the general atheism that plagues the world today.

So the natural thing to do is to get rid of the world as it currently exists, right? To do away with the current order of things, because it is anti-Christian.

This is a kind of accelerationism. To vote for certain candidates, support certain parties, champion certain factions, for the express purpose of killing the Modern world, the world of the Enlightenment, because that world is an Anti-Christ. To even support war, tumult, strife, and ruin, purely to bring an end to the Modern, Liberal world order which so thoroughly opposes Christ and the Church.

Of course this accelerationism is to be paired with a general strengthening of Christian institutions, like the Church, like the various monasteries and religious orders. The seeds of a future Christendom should be planted and nurtured even as the present Anti-Christian world's demise is hastened.

But if the Modern world is such an enemy of Christ, why should its continued existence be tolerated? And if, rather, it is now showing weakness, beginning to fail and dissolve, why should Christians do anything else but hasten its demise? Whatever future that results will have brighter prospects for Christianity.

You wanna know Moldbug's BIGGEST flaw?

It's that he's a disgusting atheist Jew and people like him don't defeat the forces he describes.

If Moldbug were a real Jew, a truly Orthodox Jew who observed the Mosaic Law, he'd have a shot at vanquishing the Cathedral. Of realizing his vision. But he isn't, so he won't.

Only God can destroy the monster of liberalism. Just like only God could destroy the monster of communism.

It will take a believer to rid the world of liberalism, once and for all. One allied with God. It will be someone only vaguely allied with modern online right-wing activism at all, but they will be very powerful when they emerge.

Only God can achieve what he dreams of achieving.

Oh, you're a commie.

Didn't John Paul kick your side's ass 35 years ago?

Read the Popes.

Yes, even Francis. He's really not that bad. And it only gets better from there. Read Benedict. Read John Paul. Read Paul VI. Read Pius IX and Pius X and Leo XIII. Go back even further and read Gregory the Great.

>That's a CIA operation though.

I really is. They're responsible for sending Evangelican Protestants down to South America, too. As a Catholic I unironically hate the United States government and long for its downfall. The Soviet Union fell, I can't wait for the United States to fall, too. Hell, a Pope was responsible for the former, maybe a Pope will play a role in America's downfall, too.

Reminder that every online leftist fucking hates him because he destroyed the Soviet Union without firing a shot, and he eviscerated communism as an ideology once and for all. Based John Paul.
