Hermetic Tradition or Catholic Tradition? A Critique of Sebastian Morello

Aside from his disturbing promotion of magic and the Hermetic tradition, Morello’s critique of “rationalism” in the Church, while containing some truth, is ultimately in service of mere counter-revolution rather than Catholic tradition. His historical narratives bypass the Church’s tradition as it has actually grown and developed over the centuries. Likewise, his problematic claims about the modern Church call into question whether the visible hierarchical Church has much remaining value at all.
