Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Church and State, Their Relations, Vol. 1 of 2: Historically Developed The great struggle about the relations between Church and State, which in recent times has so strikingly reasserted its importance, is as old as civilisation itself, and will last until civilisation ceases to exist. Nothing but the utter exhaustion and sterility of Church life, which followed the battle for the Reformation, will suffice to explain the mistaken supposition that Philosophy could be invoked with success to take the place of Religion, and to ring in the golden age of the worship of Humanity. In proportion as the Church recovered from that exhaustion, while the philosophical systems, on the other hand, which men had looked to for salvation, superseded each other in rapid succession, the real powers of a positive religious faith reappeared with increasing energy and strength. Catholicism and Protestantism simultaneously gathered their forces together, to shake off the influence of a Rationalism which was disintegrating both alike, and to recall to life the innate conditions of vitality peculiar to each. Both endeavoured to raise the Church once more into an independent power; and with the progress of this movement, the question of the relations of Church and State necessarily again became one of paramount and urgent interest.
