From the Anti-system point of view, Christian radicalism, the “crazyness of Christians” who desire an essential transformation of the planet in God’s spirit has value. An INTER-nationalist spirit, a community spirit, anti-egoist spirit, “with a certain amount of pantheism”. Like Henri de Lubac or Teilhard de Chardin. Seeing man as a follower of the work of the Divine creation—so seeing his vocation as activist, revolutionary, spiritualist, selfless, “idealist”, active. (There were attempts to marry Catholicism with fascism, Christianity with Bolshevikism, etc.)
From the point of view of traditionalism, the undeniably laicization of Catholic liturgy and ceremoniality in modern Catholicism is something to be judged negatively. However, raising the Catholic elements of activist, anti-Coltunist, extremist – in various Charles Pequis and akin – by modernism deserves a affirmative assessment; there is simply a origin of “male”, creative, “alchemic” 1 might say.
The problem of Catholic modernism was its formation in the individual civilizational environment of Western Europe. For this reason, it was poisoned and distorted by relativism. As Catholic modernism developed in non-liberal countries (Pax in PRL, Latin America), it formed not as relativistic subjectivism of the individual, but as expressed in the language of communityality ontological realism. Such, decently understood ontological realism implies besides the sacrilege of the rites and the full "ritutal" side.
To stick it all together, the Antisystem should see the possible of Catholic modernism. It contains the possible of the spiritual anti-philist and anti-system revolution. possible for ANTI-LIBERAL explanation of the Second Vatican Council. I think the intentions for this existed in the Polish Pax and in Latin America.
Thus, with respect to Catholicism: 2nd Vatican Council – YES, Catholic modernism – YES, but not in the Western explanation – individualistic, relativistic, subjective, but in the explanation of the "tellurocratic": ontologically realistic, folk, revolutionary, "male", activistic. The name of anti-system Catholicism, or of the Catholic section of the Anti-system, is Christian REVOLUCATION – extremist Catholicism, uncompromising, man-creatorial, “boundless and red”. The thought of spiritualistic essence of the world. In designation of the “multi-worldview”, of course – as our native classical taught us.
The anti-system is on the side of Catholic Modernism and the Second Vatican Council – but read by the anti-liberal, community, folk prism. And, of course, with the preservation of sacral content (not necessarily in ‘trident forms’ – possibly ‘amazones’ – ‘Catholicism’ – yes, but not a drop!’, as Brzozowski erstwhile said.
