To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In our judgment, no priesthood of religion could possibly be so remorseless and so irresponsible as a priesthood of modern atheistic science, should it accept the ethical and sociological' doctrines of the evolutionary ethics. The Christian priesthood, with all its craft and unscru- pulousness, with all its fanaticism, and want of senti- mentalism, could never wholly forget the gentle and humane precepts of the Gospels, and the example of its self-sacrificing High-priest. But a select scientifi...c high- priesthood, which should adopt the theological ethics of Professor Clifford, would find nothing within itself to control its confidence in its own infallibility, or to limit the means or the inclination to execute its remorseless decrees. The city of Paris has more than once been the wit- ness of what each of these priesthoods could be and do. The massacre of St. Bartholomew's is often referred to as an example of what priestly fanaticism in religion could inspire. But, terrible as was this scene, it does not compare with those other spectacles of cruelty and horror in the same city which the priesthoods of atheistic, ethical, and political science have sanctioned if they have not inspired.
