Marcel De Corte

“The image of De Corte, obtained from his writings in Itinéraires, has remained with me, with his devastating analysis of: the epistemological reversal of modernity; the derangement of what is the product of this, the ‘homo rationalis’; the irredeemable crisis of civilization; the corrupting character of politics founded on the ‘religion of democracy,’ and the tragedy which was—and still is—the crisis of the post-conciliar Church. De Corte, of an unsurpassed intellectual mettle, professed philosophical realism which is in perfect accord with his anti-modernism. The denial of an uncreated order of values leads to modernism and ends by negating tradition, religion and morality.” —Miguel Ayuso, Professor of Political Science at the Comillas Pontifical University
