I believe that a Traditional society is a balanced society with each social class having a rightful place. Including the Monarch, who I see as the ballast in the ship of state.<br /><br />While I am a Monarchist I do not see any reason why a Republic could not be Traditional. I would say that the Roman Republic was more Traditionist than the Roman Empire.<br /><br />MarkMark Moncrieffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07988061141727262837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-190326263026916588.post-66574609290850600842013-07-29T06:33:20.072+10:002013-07-29T06:33:20.072+10:00Yes, I agree that the term "tolerance" h...Yes, I agree that the term "tolerance" has been hijacked; but if I'm not mistaken, it was what the Church originally opted for before beginning to adopt the "religious freedom" rhetoric of the modern age. <br /><br />A lot of the authors at <i>the Orthosphere</i> are monarchists. True traditionalism requires this, I would argue. Here's an example of the advocation of a Catholic society: http://orthosphere.org/2013/06/14/why-not-a-catholic-society-instead-of-a-liberal-theocracy/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-190326263026916588.post-12345643125546530672013-07-26T21:38:52.866+10:002013-07-26T21:38:52.866+10:00Dear JJ

Mark Richardson told me the same thing but I forgot about it.<br /><br />Dear Restingapricity<br /><br />I'm afraid we must hang out with very different people as I've never heard any Traditional Conservative say they wanted a state religion. In those places that have state religion I would think they would want to keep it, but start a new one? <br /><br />Maybe you are correct I should say tolerance instead of freedom, unfortunately most people would see religious tolerance as limiting religion. Tolerance is one of those words that Liberalism has mangled quite a bit. <br /><br />Lastly my purpose in writing that was to say I don't care what your religious beliefs are, as long as your not anti-religious you can play on my team. I stand by that.Mark Moncrieffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07988061141727262837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-190326263026916588.post-28242759930598086062013-07-06T15:47:56.395+10:002013-07-06T15:47:56.395+10:00I question the "We believe in freedom of reli...I question the "We believe in freedom of religion. . . ." Do we now? Most of us are outright advocating a state religion, so I imagine the room for exception would be deemed "religious tolerance."
