"To believe each of Them *will* personally die is also to believe that
Their system will die - that some chance of renewal, some
dialectic, is still operating in History. To affirm Their mortality
is to affirm Return. I have been pointing out certain obstacles in the
way of Return. . . . " It sounds like a disclaimer, and the priest
sounds afraid. (540)
Who are "They" supposed to be? A band of evil atheists who rule the planet?
