So Much for Unity: Many Months before Traditionalists were Blocked at Saint Peter's, Prevost's Election was Decided in Burke's Apartment rorate-caeli.blogspot.com/20… (by @Capozza_Franc)

Some more on the "neutral worldview" which critics of @NWBroJaneway's recent "Malfoid" work think they hold. Here's a comment someone made on the author's last chapter: "Now, the two options are 'our hero defeats his foe and emerges victorious' and 'a god steps in to do it.' Which is more satisfying? A victorious hero or a cuckolded one? If a God was going to step in and save the day...what need was there for a hero? If there was need of a hero, then the hero needs be strong enough to win the day. Even in stories where the Gods are active participants in the adventure, it is the Hero who wins the day (and in those stories where a God does win the day, it is usually because they were the protagonist/hero of that story)." This is anything but a neutral worldview. In the true worldview – that of the real world, in which the Holy Trinity is God, that Jesus Christ is the Second Person of that Trinity, made man – man can do nothing at all without God's help. Man couldn't even go on existing without God holding him in existence. So, the idea of divine assistance changing a "victorious hero" to a "cuckolded one" is ludicrous. The victorious hero is the one that God helps, and who co-operates with God. But what these people want Christians to do is to leave our whole worldview and metaphysics at the door and adopt theirs instead, on the completely false idea that theirs is the neutral one. No: theirs is theirs, and its false. Ours is God's, and its true. Once again, the same applies to the ordering of states. This is precisely why there can be no "neutral state". The "neutral state" is a state which rejects the sovereignty of God and his Christ. It is, as Pope Leo XIII called it, "legal apostasy". On the contrary: Christ is King.

I mean, they're getting something for free, which they are free to look at or not, from someone who not getting paid for it. If they don't like it, why do they complain about it, rather than just... go away? Also, complaining about the presence of Christianity is the stupidest and most un-self-aware thing possible. Every story has a metaphysical worldview. It may be the default in modern literature, but only the dimmest and densest minds fail to realise that one which presumes God does not exist, or is irrelevant, or plays no role, is not neutral at all. The same goes for a "neutral state" which presumes to act as if God might exist or might not exist. Sheesh.
