To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It has been due to pride and ignorance taking occasion by an abiding sense of the fullness, the wholeness, the comprehensiveness of that manifold eternal life to which the Church conceived herself com- missioned to bear witness. Corruptio optimi pessima. What is most unlovely in the history of Christendom has been rendered possible there by the very character- istics which warrant the -claim of Christianity to do more justice than any other religion to the whole riddle of human life, to declare... more adequately than any other the whole counsel of God. Christianity, in virtue of the comprehensiveness of the religious experience for which it stands, has again and again done good service to Philosophy by affording a refuge to the recognition of aspects of reality which the philosophical fashion of the day was apt to neglect. There are times and places when a certain type of THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION 19 thought prevails, to which, in view of the obvious distinctness of individual men from one another, to talk of a common consciousness in which many may share, of a responsibility for what others than oneself have done, is at the best to amuse oneself with meta- phors, at the worst to talk a mischievous kind of nonsense.
