On the face of it, the thing was like this:—Openly, people say that a new spirit must find Its way into men's hearts, that under the old church administration the temporal and spiritual have become too closely combined, that a more spiritual road to Christ must be sought, etc, etc. Whilst deeper down, less obviously on the surface, a shifting of economic strata is taking place through the transference of estates from spiritual to worldly owners.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"III.

Das war in hohem Maße in England der Fall; das war auch in hohem Maße im späteren Deutschland der Fall. Im späteren Deutschland ist ja ein großer Teil der Territorialfürsten zur Reformation übergetreten. Aber es war nicht etwa überall - um mich nicht gar zu anzüglich auszudrücken — die Begeisterung für Luther oder für die anderen Reformatoren, sondern es war der Hunger nach den Kirchengütern, die Sehnsucht, die Kirchengüter zu säkularisieren. Unendliches Kirchengut des Mittelalters ging ja an die weltlichen, an die Territotialfürsten über. In England war es so, daß ein großer Teil derjenigen, die im Besitze von Grund und Boden waren, enteignet wurden, expropriiert wurden und auswanderten nach Amerika. Ein großer Teil der Einwanderer nach Amerika - wir haben . gestern von einem anderen Gesichtspunkte auf das hingewiesen, was hier zugrunde liegt — waren die expropriierten Besitzer von Grund und Boden in Europa. Also ökonomische Verhältnisse waren in hohem Grade maßgebend bei jener Metamorphose der neueren geschichtlichen Entwickelung, welche man gewöhnlich als Reformation bezeichnet. An der Oberfläche nimmt sich die Sache etwa so aus, daß man sagt, daß neuer Geist in die menschlichen Seelen einziehen müsse, daß die alte Kirchenverwaltung zu stark das weltliche Element mit dem geistigen Elemente verknüpft habe und daß man überhaupt einen geistlicheren Weg zu dem Christus finden müsse und so weiter. Etwas tiefer, etwas weniger an der Oberfläche betrachtet, findet eine ökonomische Umschichtung statt in dem Übertragen der geistlichen Güter an die weltlichen Menschen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":281,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/191/1919-10-12/p007"}],"english":["GA 191/1919-10-12/p007","GA 191/1919-10-12/p008"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":281,"en_words":301,"ratio":1.07,"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.
