  • This is what Christianity looks like today — under theological instruction — in Old Testament teaching and above all in the pagan teaching it is seen as a corrupted primordial revelation. Catholicism has an insight into what I’ve often spoken about in Anthroposophy, namely the old Mysteries. In my book “Christianity as mystical fact” I pointed these things out, but, not quite, but only as far as possible because these things are as much unknown as possible in today’s world and most people are not prepared for these things. Only, here we can speak about it, and about one point.

  • My dear friends! It is an unpleasant truth for those who want to be within today’s consciousness; they don’t know what to do about it; it is an unpleasant truth certainly for those who from an erroneous view want to apologize for Christianity before the present time. It is an extraordinary chapter in the involvement of today’s world when people come and say Christianity is impractical, Christianity is something which allows escape from the world, Christianity has a mystical atavistic element which makes it unworldly. Then others come along who want to excuse Christianity by discussing away what some are saying who considered the world in a strong spiritual light and who still have a relationship to the world. The excuse is given that things don’t need to be understood, they are really not meant so badly regarding fleeing from the world and with it coming to an end, it has continued its progress from the first centuries up to now; the world is just and anything some fanatical priest or fanatical pastor claims about the downfall of the world from God, is really not so seriously meant, it has only come about through the Catholic influence; one must wipe it out.
