Keith,
I do not recall ever quoting Manning
as having stated directlly that Social Credit is too good for the people.
He may have done so but I have no such conscious recollection. He is publicly
recorded as having said that there was nothing that man could do to effect
meaningful change in this fallen world until "Christ's return." This does,
however, imply essentially the same thing and reveals something of the
nature of his "theololgy" which held that the "Kingdom" was ultimate rather
than immanent--that Christ was to come rather than that He has already
come. It was Manning's chief Lieutenant who made the personal
and private observation about Social Credit being too good for the people.
The two views seem entirely consistent and speak nothing to the credit of
society or the value of initiative in promoting or living Social Credit.
It explains why Social Credit held such an insignificant position in the
priorities of the leadership, and its many blind followers, of the League
and Party. After all, the logic following this position would hold that a
premature mortal attempt to "bring in the Kingdom" at a temporal level
would be an endeavour to "preempt the will of God." That would be
"heresy" or "sacrilege." I think that you were quoting hastily from memory
without checking to confirm the correctness of your comment.
