The way in which the shifting of the population took place was this; that the land and soil in Western Europe, particularly, were, before the Reformation set in, possessed by different peoples from those who possessed it afterwards. For those people who before the Reformation were the leaders, and on whom the social structure more or less depended, lost their position through the Reformation. All landed property before the Reformation was, to a much greater extent than is commonly supposed, dependent on the lordship of the priesthood, and in all manner of ways. Before the Reformation, the lordship of the priests was remarkably powerful in determining the character, for instance, of economic conditions. Those who possessed landed estates possessed them to a very large extent as a sort of agents and under an obligation of some sort or another in connection with the offices of the Church.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"III.

Diese Umschichtung der Bevölkerung ist dadurch zustande gekommen, daß vor dem Eintritte der Reformation andere Menschen, namentlich in Westeuropa, Grund und Boden innegehabt haben als nach der Reformation. Denn die führenden Menschen, die gewissermaßen für die soziale Struktur vor der Reformation maßgebend waren, die haben ihre Herrschaft durch die Reformation verloren. Weit mehr als man denkt, war aller Grund- und Bodenbesitz vor der Reformation in umfassendstem Sinne abhängig von der Priesterherrschaft. Die Priesterherrschaft war vor der Reformation überhaupt für die ökonomischen Verhältnisse außerordentlich maßgebend. Diejenigen, die Grund und Boden besaßen, besaßen ihn zum großen Teile gewissermaßen im Auftrage und durch Überantwortung von irgendwie mit der Kirche zusammenhängenden Behörden.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":165,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/191/1919-10-12/p006"}],"english":["GA 191/1919-10-12/p006"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":165,"en_words":209,"ratio":1.27,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.17,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":8353,"original_word_count":7159,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"LA1963","book_title":"Cosmogony, Freedom, Altruism","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA191/English/LA1963/19191012p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"no_translator_named","note":"Neither the lecture's own page nor rsarchive's lecture list names a translator for it.
