P. 18 against the false dilemma or an implied dilemma
Roman must profess to be fixed: the anglican to
take count of changed conditions.

There is the third Anschaung; the Confucian Anschaung which
Mr Eliot uses elsewhere as a cockshy and toward which he
is nearly as intollerant as I am of burning people at
the stake for differences of opinion. The Confucian
Anschaung is that no abstract principle shd. be carried to
the point of idiocy and fanaticism.

As far as I can see there is no only no modern theology
but so deep and dark an ignorance both among the Cardinals
in Rome and the Bishops of Lambeth that not one of them
has even thought of looking up the definition of fornication
before arriving their divers Hamlet's sololiquies.

A real doubled barreled theologian wd. have got both
juntas out of their troubles. If I hadnet recently had such
a hunt to find a jesuit capable of answering a simple
question re/ Aristotle ( to which I ultimatelt discovered the
answer myself ) I mgiht have been more deeply moved by
one the other or both of their enclinicals.

I9 rather the colour of mr E. vocabulary that offends me.
The word order seems to me as serviceable as the word
discipline for every needful purpose and it is free
from the taint of self/created superciliousness .

Why "obedience" rather than "perception of the general
convenience "

A perception of the general convenience leads
us to accept traffic regulations without any of that idea
of discipline or obedience TO the traffic cop. ascribed hierarch
status to him.

Why not perception rather than reception. A question of moa
modalities.

P. 20 How in the name of whatever god or gods Mr Eliot
wishes to foist on us can a Church offer a solution to
"economic questions" ?

In what indefinite middle are
we here plunged " hierarcy " , priesthood , religion
ecclesiastical administration ... which of all these
diss/ dissociate notions does Mr E. wish us to prediacte
predicate ?

Obviously the solution is in the principle the more you suffer
here the more damned Xtn virtue you acquire and the less
time you have to toast on satan's toast rack. It is all
perfectly selfcontained model maisonette. Poverty is
a belssing ; suffering is a dv divine privilege / why
( vide Mr E. on anterior page ) make it easy ?

the passage regarding P.IO" meager emotional life" Not quite clear how this passage differs fundamentally from the old catholic idea of the fear of hell as the salt on the omlet of pleasure ... conducing, historically to flagellation in erot/ and neurot/ icism ?

I am led to wonder On P; II I wonder whether Mr E. really thinks he can carry the church back to bohemia, revive the feasts and concurrent scandals/ shockings of the 2nd. and 3d. century borzoi

P.I3 the familiar fable about the chemical that makes the green on the under side of the leaves; without it the world wd. wilt. Whether this a bit of the lighter vein introduced in a " serious "essay I am unable to certify.

Mr E. is using a term and the same term in quotes and so far as I am concerned neither the plain nor the quoted seem very strictly defined.

As for science (p. 14 on the bench of penitence, I conceive it as readily as going to cofessional for having invented or ridden an old high wheel bicycle before the "a safety" was invented.

This is merely a difference in Anschaung and not a criticism of Mr Eliot's sentence.

Personally I wd. feel in greater danger of conversion
if it were in our day possible to conceine an MMFA
in any sense intellectual clergy

I take it that Eint Einstein Hubble and Tollman are at least
serious clerical clerks in their private specialités.

We have seen discipline or at least repression of emotions
but in the past quarter century where oh pices and O gemini
where have we seen a trace of intellectual discipline.

I dont in the least want to attract the young to what I
consider a stupidity, and possibly the young if they be
also very foolish ed/ be attracted to a religion merely
arbitrary and fantastic : as for example such a
jumble non-cognate and disparate nouns as thought, study;
mortification sacrifice.

At what point mortification diss differs from the penchants
of M. le Arquis de Sade no professing christian has ever
to elucidate
taken the pains or subjected himself to the mortification
of elucidating.

As for sacrifice : if Xtrianity derives from the Old
+estiment if was cheap proce of an expensive ticket to
"grace e or divine patronage.

As to his final statement about the " world " attempting to form a civilized mentality. I shd. like to believe it.
I shd. say that the few people who are making any such attempt are certainly very much against the world.

Mr E. says that the world is trying to form an J
a v civl civilized byt non-christian mentality. We
I think
have here our old friend as optimist about the intention
of the world ;

he says the world will not sucede . Oh well ;

I shd. be cheered at any scraps of evidence he might be
able to show of this attempt.
