Perhaps I should not assume they are linked. <BR/><BR/>I can only speculate then that this writer is essentially concurring that Aristotle was by no means a cultist. Now it may be that there were those in the Church who used Aristotle to further their pietistic vision of the universe and that I suppose could be described as cultism. To the extent that faith can be corrupted, not complimented by various beliefs--that I would identify as cultism and it is a common error within all religious systems--the desire to manipulate spiritual reality by some sort of system not actually rooted in faith but in something much more akin to incantation.<BR/><BR/>Given that the Catholic Church actually has a spiritual system of sacramental dispensation as opposed to the social commity of Protestantism such deviations must be rooted out by men and women in possession that rarest of commodities-wisdom.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06991589376781467633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9417767.post-1147790947364398982006-05-16T10:49:00.000-04:002006-05-16T10:49:00.000-04:00There is no confusion here.

"He is a follower of Cusa, in direct opposition to the influence of Aristotilean pagan occultism in the Catholic church... " This is just pseudo intellectual gibberish. Aristotle was about as far from occultism as anyone could be. Cusa was a Boy Scout compared to Aristotle and Aquinas. My recommendation still stands: LaRouche needs to read Being and Some Philosophers by Etienne Gilson-and without his occultist -conspiracy spectacles.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06991589376781467633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9417767.post-1147747744381882342006-05-15T22:49:00.000-04:002006-05-15T22:49:00.000-04:00You need to read LaRouche's book The Science of Ch...You need to read LaRouche's book The Science of Christian Economy, if you want to clear some of this obvious confusion up. He is a Platonist, that is why he attacks Aquinas' tradition. He is a follower of Cusa, in direct opposition to the influence of aristotilean pagan occultism in the Catholic church... <BR/><BR/>also, Ayn Rand is a more direct enemy. <BR/><BR/>You just need to read more LaRouche to answer these questions you have about him, because your speculation is way off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
