"The religious consciousness of people is constantly moving in the direction of clarification, simplification, accessibility. And in the meantime, people value, pass on to one another, and consider unalterable above all the external forms, which are not subject to either simplification or clarification, and consider equally unalterable the foundations that must change anyway.

The religious consciousness of people is constantly moving in the direction of clarification, simplification, accessibility. And in the meantime, people value, pass on to one another, and consider unalterable above all the external forms, which are not subject to either simplification or clarification, and consider equally unalterable the foundations that must change anyway.
""Conștiința religioasă a oamenilor se deplasează neîncetat în direcția limpezirii, simplificării, accesibilității. Iar între timp oamenii prețuiesc, își transmit unui altuia și consideră inalterabile cu precădere formele exterioare, care nu sunt supuse nici simplificării, nici limpezirii, și considera la fel de inalterabile temeiurile care oricum trebuie să se schimbe."
