This principle grants every individual the right to form and advocate any opinion they choose, without fear of any doctrinal authority objecting to it. But freedom is not boundless. The Church's teaching authority has the right to condemn a philosophical opinion if it contradicts a revealed teaching or logically leads to such a contradiction. We assume here that an ecclesiastical teaching authority has been established by God with the task of protecting and interpreting divine revelation. With this mandate, the right in question is directly established. For the execution of the mandate given to it, the teaching office of the Church must be able to explain the true meaning of the word of God and to designate false interpretations as false. Hence, when the opinion of a philosopher or of a school of philosophy directly or indirectly challenges the true meaning of the content of revelation, the teaching authority of the Church has the power to judge the error as such and the authority to condemn it before the public.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Thirteenth Lecture","site_heading":"Ideas and Growth Forces: Bridging Prenatal and Posthumous Existence","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.

Dieses Prinzip spricht jedem Einzelnen das Recht zu, jede beliebige Meinung aufzustellen und zu vertreten, ohne daß er von irgendwelcher Lehrmacht einen Einspruch zu befürchten habe. Allein Freiheit ist keine Schrankenlosigkeit. Das kirchliche Lehramt hat das Recht, eine philosophische Meinung zu verurteilen, falls diese im Widerspruch mit einer geoffenbarten Lehre steht oder zu einem solchen Widerspruch folgerichtig hinführt. Wir setzen hier als bewiesen voraus, daß ein kirchliches Lehramt von Gott eingesetzt sei mit dem Auftrag, die göttliche Offenbarung zu schützen und auszulegen. Mit diesem Auftrag ist das fragliche Recht unmittelbar gegeben. Denn zur Ausführung des ihm gewordenen Auftrages muß das Lehramt der Kirche instand gesetzt sein, den wahren Sinn des Wortes Gottes zu erklären und falsche Auslegungen als falsch zu bezeichnen. Wenn also die Meinung eines Philosophen oder einer philosophischen Schule den wahren Sinn des Offenbarungsinhaltes direkt oder indirekt anficht, so besitzt das Lehramt der Kirche die Macht, den Irrtum als solchen zu beurteilen, und die Befugnis, ihn vor der Öffentlichkeit zu verurteilen.»","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":182,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/198/1920-07-10/p026"}],"english":["GA 198/1920-07-10/p026"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":182,"en_words":195,"ratio":1.07,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.05,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5786,"original_word_count":5526,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Healing Factors for the Social Organism","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA198/English/SOL2024/19200710p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
