[QUOTE="céline, post: 121596, member: 4072"] I think Evola thought Catholicism was at its best when it was Ghibelline, that is, when religion & politics were united & not separated, like Catholicism was before the Guelphs took over. This early, Ghibelline Catholicism was reminiscent of the state religion of the Roman Empire. While Evola thinks Catholicism was a leech on the side of the Roman Empire, he still thinks that Ghibelline Catholicism was preferable to the Guelphs. That being said, he thought Himmler's SS (Schutzstaffel) were reminiscent of the Jesuits of the then pre Vatican II Catholic church & that any rejuvenation of European religiosity should begin with them, as opposed to the 'progressive' industrialisation, particularly of Mussolini but also those Germans who were not aligned with the SS. Evola thought the Catholic church should be brought back in line with this religion of the SS but Guénon thought this was unlikely. Either way, the SS could act as a new church to replace Catholicism if necessary. Likewise Hitler tried to rejuvenate Protestantism in Germany by inventing what he called 'Positive Christianity' which did not get very far. Aside from that, Mussolini would never do anything that the Catholic church didn't approve of. I think Evola thought that the SS could replace the influence of both Protestantism & Catholicism, which is why despite being Italian he preferred Hitler to Mussolini. [/QUOTE]
