For all the anons in this thread, I highly suggest you read pic related. Jean Hani builds off certain ideas of people Eliade and Guenon, but like Borella, adapts them to a specifically Christian context and deviates when necessary. Funnily enough, parts of the book are centered around explaining the "solar symbolism" of Catholicism as if it was responding to Evola's critique. Probably not the case, but interesting nonetheless.

I suggest you read Borella's book Christ the Original Mystery like the other anon said, specifically the section on dogma. I think you will gain a lot. He discusses the etymology of the term, what it originally meant, and the corruption of the meaning of the term. This anon is right >>14456406

For Catholics, Eckhart is not a heretic. He died without even recieving a trial one way or another. Pope JPII has praised him in addition to people like the head of the head of the Dominican order who are known for their commitment to orthodoxy. Certain people who Eckhart personally instructed are now canonised saints. The biggest issue isn't with Eckhart himself, but rather with the people who try and interpret him. Most people try and read in their own meanings, ignore previous context, or simply aren't spiritually prepared to read some of his works.
