Re: [evola_as_he_is] Elements of Racial Education -- Chap 15
I see: it depends on the quibbles in translating. Since the verb "to produce" is not present in the original, I read better the sentence this way: "combining with it the ideas of the new faith, and, after, a new imperial idea, the one of the Sacrum Imperium".
The difference is very subtle, but I doubt that the Church loved really "to product" a new idea of the empire, but rather to control the process by consecrating the emperor. Otherwise, the divergence between Guelphs and Ghibellines have been in vain.
Also translating the Italian original "s' ingegnò" into "tried hard" is a bit neutral: in my opinion, the best was the more allusive "managed".
“In the Middle Ages, as is well known, the Church tried hard to resuscitate the supranational symbol by combining with it the ideas of the new faith to produce a new imperial idea, that of the Sacrum Imperium (...)."
