Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from French Prophets of Yesterday: A Study of Religious Thought, Under the Second Empire Is France, the land of the Crusaders, the eldest daughter of the Church, irrevocably lost to Christianity? Such is the problem upon which this book would attempt to throw some light. That Anti-clericalism, or opposition to the political influence of the Church, is one of the cardinal principles of the Third Republic, cannot be doubted for a moment. Active resistance to "the encroachments of Rome" was the policy, not of narrow fanatics and hot-headed Radicals alone, not merely of brilliant and somewhat erratic individuals like M. Clémenceau, but of men like Gambetta, Jules Ferry, Waldeck-Rousseau, in every respect the strongest and sanest statesmen of the regime. Anticlericalism in France is not a passion, not a crisis, but, as Waldeck-Rousseau put it, a permanent necessity. So far, at least, England and America find it easy to sympathise with the French Republic. No democracy can tolerate the intervention of theocracy in its purely secular affairs. England never brooked Popery as a political power; and the United States would be as impatient of such interference, if it were proved to exist on a national scale, as over England or Franco. On this point French Protestants are unanimous, and the great majority of moderate and tolerant Catholics tacitly agree with the great majority of fair-minded free-thinkers.
