The Pope Has Died The death of Pope Francis, the day after Easter, confirms two key truths: Christianity is lunar in nature, as Easter—like all Abrahamic festivals—aligns with the lunar cycle, reflecting its passive, devotional character (as opposed to the solar, heroic principle). It disproves the dualist fallacy of separating spirit and matter, demonstrating instead their intrinsic unity—a rejection of degenerate spiritualism in favor of the traditional, embodied view of existence. In the Evolian perspective, dualistic conceptions like the Christian opposition between "flesh" and "spirit" are rejected as decadent and degenerate. True Tradition upholds an immanent transcendence, where spirit and matter are not in conflict but integrated within a hierarchical order. Christianity's moralistic division reflects a fall from the primordial, aristocratic worldview, replacing it with a slave morality that denies the sacredness of life and the virile affirmation of the superior man. The Evolian stance affirms the unity of existence under the absolute principle of the Unconditioned, beyond all petty moralisms. Evola’s perspective emphasizes the regressive, lunar-feminine character of Abrahamic religions, which stand in contrast to the solar-masculine spirituality of traditional, heroic civilizations. The lunar nature of these festivals reflects a passive, cyclical, and devotional orientation, opposed to the active, transcendent, and sovereign spirit of the primordial Tradition. →Judaism← Passover Lunar Timing: Begins at the full moon (the first month of the Jewish religious year).
