Today we take a break from the conspiracy theory quickly evolving into a conspiracy fact and do a Normalization Process™ post.
The normalization process that is currently taking place in Paris, France at present has a very interesting aspect to it. As per below post, the key to understanding what is taking place in France is presented by a Tweet from one Karl Sharro, who puts his finger exactly on the issue driving these protest. Here is what he write:
Yes, what we in fact are witnessing is the natural end of NOMINALISM.
Just as a quick reminder:
NOMINALISM
Definition
A theory that universal ideas, like truth, goodness, and humanity, are only names. It denies that universals are true concepts, present in the mind, that correspond to and are founded on objective reality. All abstract ideas, according to the nominalists, are only useful labels. (Etym. Latin nominalis, belonging to a name.)
Now, Nominalism is ascribed to the 14th century Franciscan Friar, one William of Ockham. In the 17th Century, Rene Descartes reinvented Nominalism into a philosophical movement that eventually let to what is misnamed as “The Enlightenment”. Here is what the Cartesians believed:
Cartesians view the mind as being wholly separate from the corporeal body. Sensation and the perception of reality are thought to be the source of untruth and illusions, with the only reliable truths to be had in the existence of a metaphysical mind. Such a mind can perhaps interact with a physical body, but it does not exist in the body, nor even in the same physical plane as the body. The question of how mind and body interact would be a persistent difficulty for Descartes and his followers, with different Cartesians providing different answers.[4]
In other words, Cartesian philosophy is a rebellion against the second source of our Catholic Faith, i.e. as known through “natural light of human reason from the things that are made.
Nota bene: The Cartesians were opposed by the empiricist school of thought consisting of Hobbes, Locke, Berkeley, and Hume.
Now for those loyal and dear readers who have been following this blog, you will notice that there is presently a term for an “uber-rationalist” who divorces his intellect from empirical evidence, a. k. a. sense data. That term is “magical thinker”.
And the academic designation for a “magical thinker” is: post-Modernist!
So when we read an entry on a Tweeter feed that makes the claim that “the yellow jackets are symbolically overturning the entire Cartesian premise of France”, it is indeed noteworthy.
What we are in fact seeing is the end of ideology of Nominalism!
And finally to make the connection between that which is happening in France and spreading to the other Western lands, and the current situation within the post-conciliar church, here is the linkage from none other than the Jesuit Cardinal Carlo Martini: (see here)
The Jesuit theologian continues to sketch his future world: “This mindset keeps its distance from a platonic Christian world, in which it was taken for granted the primacy of the truth and values over feelings, of intelligence over the will, of the spirit over the flesh, of unity over pluralism, of asceticism over life, of the eternal over the temporal.”
In these four lines Martini turns the entire civilized world on its head. Indeed, he understands “platonic” no longer as a school of thought, but as a synonym of unrealistic. So, the new world to come, which he approvingly depicts, would call for a complete revolution. A kind of ideological guillotine should chop off the heads of these “nobles” – truth, values, intelligence, spirit, unity and asceticism – to open the way to the dictatorship of these revolted “proletarians” – feelings, flesh, pluralism, and the temporal life. What he proposes is nothing less than a French Revolution added to a Communist Revolution inside the soul of man…
So as we can see in the rebellion against the Cartesians taking place in contemporary France, and far from the victory of a Catholic “French revolution” within the Catholic Church, what is in fact happening is that the French revolution is disintegrating in the birthplace of ALL post-Enlightenment revolutions, from those in Russia, China, South America and Sout East Asia, and it is disintegrating before our very eyes.
And the cause of the disintegration is nothing more than a RECONCILIATION PROCESS of a Virtual reality with the OBJECTIVE ONE!

Explaining France’s Grassroots “Yellow Vest” Movement – And Why It’s Spreading Across Europe
For three weeks, tens-of-thousands of French protesters have donned yellow vests and marched throughout Paris. While the “yellow vest” movement began on November 17 as a grassroots protest against president Emmanuel Macron’s gas tax – levied in the name of climate change, it has morphed into a general rage against the French government in general at a time when Macron’s approval rating is at an all time low.
What’s more, the movement is spreading – with yellow vest demonstrations seen in Belgium, Italy and the Netherlands by those expressing frustration over similar issues. The protests have turned violent, as disaffected rioters have been setting cars on fire, causing structural damage, and assaulting the police.
Riot cops in Brussels, for example, were pelted with billiard balls, cobblestones and other hard objects last week, while the yellow vest movement is now working to form a Belgian political party under the name Mouvement citoyen belge.
What’s behind the movement?
French authorities have predictably blamed the right-wing for the protests – with interior minister Christophe Castaner denouncing National Rally (*formerly National Front) leader Marine Le Pen of encouraging the violence.
“Marine Le Pen urged people to come to the Champs Elysees, and there are members of the ultra-right putting up barriers,” said Castaner, adding “They have responded to Marine Le Pen’s call and want to take the institutions of state. We want people to be responsible.”
The real cause, however, may be quite a bit more nuanced and a long time coming. As political commentator Kark Sharro suggests in a seven-part tweetstorm, the Yellow Vest movement is “about marginalsation and the impotence felt by ordinary people.”

Sam–Good book on this subject: The Treason of the Intellectuals by Julian Benda

”
Closing this work, Benda darkly predicts that the augmentation of the “realistic” impulse to domination of the material world justified by intellectuals into an “integral realism” risked producing an all-encompassing species-civilization which completely ceased “to situate the good outside the real world”. Human aspirations, specifically after power, would become the sole end of society. In closing, bitterly, he concludes: “And History will smile to think that this is the species for which Socrates and Jesus Christ died.”[2]”

I’ll probably have detractors but there’s no way restoration comes from the world through any “movement.” The currently wayward Church is going to be the source. It must. A lay movement demanding reform of the culture thereby forcing the Church to reform is exactly the opposite of how it will happen.
Whatever throes occur in France and elsewhere are symptomatic of the disease but not the source of the cure.
In this nowhere near humble enough Catholic’s opinion, there is no way restoration will ever occur until the instructions of our Lord through Our Lady of Fatima are implemented, and they haven’t been. Just a cursory glance at the state of the world should be enough evidence that there is no “period of peace” upon us or even close to being imminent.
When He gives an instruction; you do this, and I’ll then do that, and we ignore the “you do this” part, He doesn’t then say “OK I’ll go ahead and do that anyway.” Nope.
Until the Consecration occurs, the turmoil will continue and get worse. And with Rome being occupied, I don’t see that happening soon.

How many of these people, revolting against magical thinking, support gender theory, homosexual “marriage”, abortion and tolerance of everything? How many think that it doesn’t matter, what one believes? Probably most. I don’t think there is reason for hope. I don’t think they put those cars on fire upon an examination of conscience and repentance.
It is likely that they have no idea, what hit them.

It is remarkable however, that in Eastern Europe gender ideology has much less of a foothold. The French populists may gradually come to understand how gender ideology is bunk.

What pray tell is the “Cartesian premise of France” which is being overturned? How does the “Yellow vest” movement being “about marginalization and the impotence felt by ordinary people” relate to the Cartesian premise? My observation is the movement is mainly economic (gas tax) for a spurious cause (climate change) delivered in a high handed way by Macron. In other words, the people think they are being treated like serfs and are sick of it. They think Macron is acting like a king.

People seemingly are protesting at a very elemental level against “magical thinking”. Macron and the elites of Europe and Canada cling to magical thinking on many levels—that Islam is the religion of peace, that our evil “carbon footprint” will doom future generations, that men can become women by virtue of the will (with abolition of traditional pronouns such in the universities) and the entire fallacy of gender ideology. Likewise, Bergoglio and company, by virtue of the will, endeavor to abolish sin, Hell, an all male priesthood, and other realities. It’s all part of the revolution.

And the revolution against reality is unraveling. The ultimate reality is the Eucharist. Only when Europe once again venerates the reality of the Eucharist will things be rightly ordered there.
The heresies of Islam and Protestantism will one day be consigned to the dustbin of history. May happen sooner than we think.

“The heresies of Islam and Protestantism will one day be consigned to the dustbin of history. May happen sooner than we think.”
At the present time the Catholic Church is doing whatever it can to reconcile itself with both Protestantism and Islam. In the case of Protestantism the job is nearly completed as we note there is little difference with Catholic and Protestant morality. And the Mass itself was set up to appeal to Protestants. In the case of Islam progress has been slow but notable. The Church does little to help or call attention to Catholics in Muslim countries.

I don’t think the average person gets too exercised about “magical thinking” as such because it is just theory until the result are shown to be bad such as the gas tax or Muslims killing people.
