Didn't make me a monarchist, but his critique of Francis Bacon is the greatest BTFO of scientism ever written.

There is essentially no royal lineage with any remaining spiritual power. All of them have either inbred for worldly power or reproduced with commoners, thus making the entire purpose of sacred nobility purposeless. One needs to accept that such a government will never exist again unless tech CEO dictatorship can be considered a derivative thereof. I do find it interesting to consider the religious applications of such an arrangement, however, for certainly it has a higher significance than one may imagine.

this is one path
the more likely path is military coup -> emperor -> de facto hereditary monarchy

There's a reason why de Maistre was such a hardcore Catholic. It is the Church which conveys legitimacy on houses, families, and governments. Christ gave to Peter the power of binding and loosing; therefore, the Catholic Church has in its grasp the power to make and unmake aristocracies. The Church can declare kings and emperors; the Church can raise up noble families or cast them into ruin. Popes are afraid to claim this power these days, but the Church has it, nonetheless. All aristocracy and nobility derives from the Church.

The Catholic Church can barely govern itself, never mind humanity.

monarchists are proof that politics are just a nihilistic expression of aesthetic virtue

Your meme doesn't address what I said; The Catholic Church's power is a shadow of what it was in the middle ages and is no position to institute a monarchy much less govern anything more than a tiny city in fucking Italy.
