Today it is simply part of a healthy, serious and honest world view to know these things and to treat them accordingly. Today people are not allowed to make compromises with people who work with defamation in this way. For it cannot be justified by saying: One must be benevolent towards all people — love towards all people! — Love towards such people means extreme unkindness towards those who are slandered, who are distorted. It is a matter of knowing where to direct one's love. For loving the crime can never lead to the recovery of humanity. That such things would come could be foreseen. But it could be foreseen not only from the way certain quarters have been working. You only have to open the Jesuit literature that has been unleashed since the Church's condemnation of the anthroposophical writings in July 1919. You only have to look at the people who write and examine their approach to the truth, and you will naturally see everything that ultimately leads into such swamps. I do not want to talk today about the very murky sources, which I know very well and through whose acquaintance I also know how all these things are connected and how they are just the beginning.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Fifth Lecture","site_heading":"Initiatory Science and Moral Renewal in Modern Society","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Es ist heute den Menschen nicht gestattet, Kompromisse zu schließen mit Menschen, die in dieser Weise mit der Verleumdung arbeiten. Denn damit rechtfertigt man das nicht, daß man sagt: Man muß gegen alle Menschen wohlwollend sein — Liebe gegen alle Menschen! — Liebe gegen solche Menschen bedeutet äußerste Lieblosigkeit gegen die, die verleumdet, die entstellt werden. Es handelt sich doch darum, zu wissen, wohin man mit der Liebe soll. Denn das Verbrechen lieben, kann nimmermehr zur Gesundung der Menschheit führen. Daß solche Dinge kommen mußten, das konnte man voraussehen. Aber man konnte es nicht nur an dem voraussehen, wie gearbeitet worden ist von gewissen Seiten. Sie brauchen ja nur die jesuitische Literatur aufzuschlagen, die seit der kirchlichen Verurteilung der anthroposophischen Schriften im Juli 1919 losgelassen worden ist. Sie brauchen nur die Menschen ins Auge zu fassen, die da schreiben, und einmal zu prüfen, was für Zugänge zur Wahrheit diese Menschen haben, dann haben Sie natürlich alles das, was schließlich in solche Sümpfe hineinführen muß.
