To expand a bit on this.
For Camus the Absurd is not a "fact of the world", but a fact of our relation to the world. And it is not that meaning isn't real, or that our achievements are temporary, or that because materialism is true then we are meaningless because of the scale of the universe or whatever. It isn't that he refuses the scientific method to determine scientific facts, or any other method which may produce wisdom or true statement. Its that we, specifically as human beings, have a component to our psyche, to our Ego, which requires of the world that meaning be real, that our achievements don't remain temporary, that our importance cannot be determined by the scale (or perhaps better worded, that WE are the scale) of where we are in the Universe, that when we reach truth it is Absolute Truth even if only potentially... etc... AND that the world isn't the kind of thing to be able to fulfill these expectations or give us the guarantee of it.
That the world would create a being which has to ask of the world things it cannot do is by essence Absurd. For a Catholic, this translates into "That God would create humans with their sense of Ego such that humans would naturally rebel at the thought of absolute submission to God, which is their natural end, is Absurd." Contrary to what zoomer cunts want you to believe on this board, such a thought is not blasphemous, but rather a key moment in a man's journey toward Christ and the Church.
But if Camus had only made a good representation of the young man's rebellious moment toward God and the Universe, he would have been barely worthy of a footnote. What truly underline him as *the* best Catholic Existentialism precursor is that he naturally understood the solution, if he did not understand what it meant in the order of things. He simply doesn't completely hone in on the irreducible core of human existence, which is moral action, or human action in general, and how religion becomes a set of moral actions in the same way as the artist's artistic performance, or the Don Juan's flirtation.
Had he lived longer he would 100% have made the connection.
Camus -> Emmanuel Mounier -> Karol Wojtyła is pretty much everything you need to live a wholesome happy life surrounded by wholesome happy people and then be welcomed into Heaven where you will have a wholesome happy Afterlife, and it is a goddamn tragedy so few realizes it.

Inane ramblings of a savage.
Please go walk on a beach and get clocked randomly by a Frenchman.

God you faggots are so weak willed.
You cunts think Camus ever worried about any of his slut's sexual past, present or future?

In a letter, Camus once reported having witnessed a young and very pretty girl do something "at the same time incredibly crass and incredibly endearing in it's innocence", claiming that afterwards he remained forever obsessed (implying sexually) with the act.
What did he see?
