A new breed of philosopher...

...needs to be called forth!  The modern intellectual has become nothing else than a "natural" man, having no knowledge because he has failed to look through the prism of God's love.

How many times have we seen 'elites' advocate reformulated pagan ideologies in the guise of progress?  How often have we heard that man's existence must be limited because of a chimera of "overpopulation"?  How often have these 'elites' advocated nihilism and death because they fail to recognize the principle of life in the High Priest of creation?  Anyone else tired of worrying about Fido and would prefer to worry about the millions of aborted human children?

We now have -- unfortunately because of the death of philosophy -- a positivist world that champions ignorance!  The genius stroke of the Enlightenment was to paint itself anti-dogmatic, and the most dogmatic moral neutralists have convinced us that they aren't dogmatists!  What a noble lie! 

The ignorance of God has left us in a world of Kantian metaphysics.  Our intellectuals, long ago, took their hands out of the dirt, and now they are proving and disproving everything because most have never walked a day in practical reality.  Give me a philosopher trained in philosophy, but with real world experience.  Then you will see a true philosopher; a new philosopher -- only new because he's so old -- who looks around and names things as he knows them rather than knowing them as he names them.

The modern intellectual is problematic because his speculations are impractical -- completely divorced from reality -- and so we get 'elites' who think of humans as monsters and dogs as kings. 

Ultimately, the divorce from reality is caused because they fail to know Being.  They fail to know Him because they've outlawed philosophy and theology at the hands of bad philosophers.

So, I hereby call forth a new breed of philosopher; new because he's old; a real Aristotelian; a real Thomist; someone that does not dress up ignorance in the guise of sophistication; someone who has actually lived life; someone who keeps reality real; someone who fears God.

Dusk has now settled in on the West.  My God!  My God!  I cry in the face of the impending darkness!  How long until the new dark ages end?  How long until reason reconquers the members?  How long until the rebirth of wisdom?  How long until we know and fear our God?  How long, my Lord, until daybreak?
