As usual with products of the Jesuit tutoring, O'Hear puts his deeply incisive account into the service of unrestrained Catholic propaganda and Victorian social values. According to him there is natural and immutable hierarchical order in society as well as in arts.
Even more acute example of this proselytizing can be found in (Brother?) Vaccaro's commentary to an excellent but very strange in its literacy Steven Pinsky translation of Dante's Inferno. Would anyone be interested in the Divina Comedia after seven centuries if its only content were the personal ascension of someone Alighieri to the heights of Catholic Orthodoxy?
