The way real charitable empathy can exist across the world


Catholics are more practical than Protestants in giving two pillars to the church, scripture plus ongoing apostolic tradition, but protestants are closer to the complete non-material, ascetic, impracticality of Christ in validating only the scriptures.

So if we consider what Chilton Williamson Jr. called "universal empathy" (Chronicles Dec. 2017) and how the Church teaches us that our primary charitable empathy is to those nearest to us, that practicality leans more toward apostolic tradition and interpretation than the scriptures.

We can, and should, care about the world, at least at the far end of our charitable empathy, but our genetically derived human nature simply cares more deeply about kin and ethnic group. This may not conform to the ideals of socialism, postmodernism, or even the Church, but it is nevertheless true.

Such things as universal empathy, the Brotherhood of Man, universal equality, and perfect liberty, which have been promoted for many years by liberalism, do not exist in reality. And fascism tends to want only one group in the world, which is not only impractical but almost as unreal as promoting  universal empathy (really brain-washing).

The reality which forms around the real charity and real empathy inherent in human nature suggests an ethnopluralism of ethnostates, protected by populist nationalism---that is the practical way real charitable empathy can exist across the world.
