Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Religious Question in France: In the Light of Historic Facts and of Current Events "Le Clericalisme - voila l´ennemi" Gambetta, the gifted statesman and impassioned orator of the Third Republic, master of phrases as he was, never compressed more truth into a sentence than when he uttered this pungent and often quoted sayings Clericalism that is the enemy. Many of the European nations have known to their cost his meaning; but none has had more bitter reason to understand it than the country which, with all his faults, he loved with a true patriots affection, and served with a penetrating and fearless statesmanship. It saddens the heart to imagine what, but for Clericalism, France might have been in Reformation days, and to think of what Christianity, in place of Clericalism, would have made the brilliant and lovable French people to-day. In the course of the enquiry which, at the instance of the Trustees of His Excellency Dr R.H. Gunning, I made last autumn into the present religious and ecclesiastical situation. in France, I was met with evidences everywhere that Gambetta´s trumpet note has not only reverberated throughout the land, but found a response in multitudes of French minds and hearts. I visited not merely Paris, but other large cities - such as Lyons, Roanne, and St Etienne toward the east; Orleans, Angoulême, and Bordeaux toward the west; Clermont-Ferrand, Limoges, and Tulle in the centre; Bayonne, Montauban, and Toulouse toward the south. I enquired into Protestant missionary operations on the spot, more especially in Auvergne and Haute Loire, in the Charentes, and in Corrèze. I took note of what was to be seen at that great centre of Roman Catholic devotion and priestly traffic, Lourdes.
