More From Alexander Herzen

Now the ordinary protestant, jew or secularist has a stereotype about catholicism. it consists of spanish catholicism, latin-american catholicism and, let us say, a catholicism of o'connor's "great hurrah." now there are types of catholicism like that but this doesn't - this doesn't do justice to the genuine relation that catholicism has had to democratic society.
Latin Justice Ordinary
Catholicism is contrary to human liberty. catholicism bases salvation upon belief. catholicism teaches man to trample his reason under foot. and for that reason it is wrong.
Men Feet Religion
In the system of chivalry, men protect women against men. this is not unlike the protection relationship which [organized crime] established with small businesses in the early part of this century. indeed, chivalry is an age-old protection racket which depends for its existence on rape.
Men Age Chivalry
Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead. the age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth.

When i was in my early 20s i converted to catholicism after a long period of searching. what i think drew me to the catholic church is that in catholicism, prayer suffuses all of one's life by virtue of the sacraments. prayer is not something which occurs just on sunday, it doesn't occur only at particular moments of intensity or by particular conventions, one's whole life is given up to prayer in many, many modes. and so everything to do with the faith is trying to put you in relationship with god and trying to make that relationship grow deeper and more mature.
Prayer Sunday Thinking
When catholicism goes bad it becomes the world-old, world-wide religio of amulets and holy places and priestcraft. protestantism,in its corresponding decay, becomes a vague mist of ethical platitudes. catholicism is accused of being too much like all the other religions; protestantism of being insufficiently like a religion at all. hence plato, with his transcendent forms, is the doctor of protestants; aristotle, with his immanent forms, the doctor of catholics.

Similar Quotes
I got to dislike parties, like jefferson and madison. i think they're harmful. but the system is flawed so badly. i like what plato said, long ago. democracy is fit only for a small country. can't survive in a large country.
Country Plato Party
It is in the stomach of plants that development begins, and ends in the circles of the universe. 'tis a long scale from the gorilla to the gentleman,--from the gorilla to plato, newton, shakespeare,--to the sanctities of religion, the refinements of legislation, the summit of science, art, and poetry. the beginnings are slow and infirm, but it is an always accelerated march.
Art Plato Circles
If the modern spirit, whatever that may be, is disinclined towards taking the lord's word at its face value (as i hear is the case), we may observe that isaiah's testimony to the character of the masses has strong collateral support from respectable gentile authority. plato lived into the administration of eubulus, when athens was at the peak of its jazz-and-paper era, and he speaks of the athenian masses with all isaiah's fervency, even comparing them to a herd of ravenous wild beasts.
Strong Plato Character
Xenophon wrote with a swan's quill, plato with a pen of gold, and thucydides with a brazen stylus.
