Quote by Thomas Mann
English (Source)
The church, as the embodiment of the religious and ascetic idea, is essentially far from being the patron and support of those who want to remain, i.e. secular education, the state legal order, but on the contrary, from the very beginning, it has written on its banner the most radical, upheaval revolution ; that everything that considers itself to be preserved, and that the soft-hearted, the cowards, the conservatives, the citizens try to preserve, i.e. the state and the family, secular art and science, have always remained standing in opposition to it, consciously or unconsciously, only in spite of the religious idea and the church above, since the church's innate aspiration and unbreakable goal is the dissolution of all existing secular order and the reshaping of society according to the model image of the ideal, communist God-state, the civitas Dei.
