T.W. Rolleston Quotes

There Is Perhaps No Law Written More Conspicuously In The Teachings Of History Than That Nations Who Are Ruled By Priests Drawing Their Authority From Supernatural Sanctions Are, Just In The Measure That They Are So Ruled, Incapable Of True National Progress. The Free, Healthy Current Of Secular Life And Thought Is, In The Very Nature Of Things, Incompatible With Priestly Rule. Be The Creed What It May, Druidism, Islam, Judaism, Christianity, Or Fetichism, A Priestly Caste Claiming Authority In Temporal Affairs By Virtue Of Extra-temporal Sanctions Is Inevitably The Enemy Of That Spirit Of Criticism, Of That Influx Of New Ideas, Of That Growth Of Secular Thought, Of Human And Rational Authority, Which Are The Elementary Conditions Of National Development.
