"It ensues from this that it is absurd to try to de-christianise a people without having previously extirpate from it everything which, on the plane of the race of the soul and on that of the spirit, bears the mark of Christian influences ; thus, to extirpate, not dogmas, in which, as a French historian of the Middle Ages once pointed out, the people was never interested, but the formative ideas and the influences which have been acting on the people to the point of christianising them, not according to the 'letter', but in 'spirit', without them being conscious of it, and without them realising either that, despite their no longer being practising Christians, their thought, their actions and their attitudes are still greatly determined by Christian moral, a moral which, besides being in stark contradiction and being incompatible with Nordic-Aryan ethic, is obviously hostile to it."
Evola makes this clear in the Italian edition of Imperialism Pagano, where he writes:
"We have said that even among those who today line up on the side of the values of hierarchy, almost no one explains the depth that the Christian evil has driven its roots into contemporary society.
There is no need to delude ourselves. This evil is by this point interwoven into the very structure of the occidental mentality, and most who would not think of calling themselves Christian even in their dreams, are so in fact; so that they can free themselves from it only by a total negation, with a jump that makes oneself truly a new being, even if he must break down everything from which the Occident draws a vain pride."
The nominal de-christianisation of Europe has not produced that jump – to the contrary the degeneration of the castes has continued apace against which, paradoxically, the Church used to be a reactionary brake. Evola certainly did not regard the anti-clerical French republic as leading a return to any heathen roots. And Amsterdam is hardly the model to follow, as much as it is made to be by the sophisticates. Christian moralism is replaced with public prostitution, legalized drugs, and state-sanctioned sodomy – can that in any way indicate a return to solar, virile spirituality?
But isn't this the missing link in Evola's critique? His project is not possible to the lower castes, who will never be among "those who know". I don't know what "lightning" (you can't mean Luke 17:24?) can reverse this, nor has there been a historical record of the reversal of the degeneration of castes.
