The author now condemns a Catholic Renaissance priest as a heretic, while at the same time citing Protestant heretics like John MacArthur and Casuabon to support his condemnation of the use of Platonic philosophy as "the support of the devil." Hypocritically thinking Aristotle, a pagan, is perfectly acceptable and conducive to Christian theology. Need we forget both philosophers posited a form of pantheism?

[on the use of Platonism in Christianity] "It is not a 'conspiracy theory' to perceive this unmistakable chain of transmission."
Of course not. The "conspiracy theory" is that usage of Platonism in Christian theology is inherently evil; a "conspiracy theory" would be to assert that all post-Renaissance popes are consciously complicit in perpetuating occultism in the Church, as the author emphasizes repeatedly.

This has to be one of the most illuminating, while still fundamentally biased, books I have ever read. So far the author proposes that what we know today as Modernism, as well as the public manifestation of such in Vatican II, is symptomatic of these occult Hermetic-Platonic roots from Renaissance Platonists. I buy that, that makes sense, but he has a serious bias against all things Plato. I find that irritating.
