It is very necessary to point this out today, for individual instances which may disgust us as they come up from the *Ecclesia catholica Romana* right here on our doorstep[^2] allow us to see how the ahrimanic spirit was able to enter into it. On the one hand we must not let this ahrimanic spirit deceive us into thinking that the *Ecclesia catholica Romana* does not hold the light-filled wisdom of eternity. When I was able to give a course here for theologians, it was evident that with the longing felt by Protestants to deepen Protestantism in its spiritual aspects, to get out of rationalism, out of intellectualism, it came as a real liberation for some of those present to hear the words: *Ecclesia catholica non Romana*. For today we have definitely reached a point where rationalism must be overcome just as much as the worldly nature of the Catholic Church has to be overcome; humanity must come together again in a life of the spirit that is for all, a life of the spirit to which none may lay claim who have any kind of desire to rule the world.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture XI","site_heading":"Sleep, Sacrifice, and Cosmic Structuring of Human Being","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.

Heute ist es sehr notwendig, auf diese Dinge hinzuweisen, denn in den einzelnen abstoßenden Erscheinungen, die Ihnen hier in unmittelbarer Nähe entgegentreten können aus der Ecclesia catholica Romana heraus, sehen Sie, wie ahrimanischer Geist eindringen konnte. Man darf sich auf der einen Seite durch diesen ahrimanischen Geist nicht täuschen lassen darüber, daß die Ecclesia catholica non Romana eben doch in sich birgt lichtvolle ewige Weisheit. Und in dem hiesigen Theologenkursus, den ich abhalten durfte, zeigte es sich, daß aus jener protestantischen Sehnsucht, die sich da geltend machte nach einer Vertiefung des Protestantismus nach der spirituellen Seite hin, aus dem Rationalismus, aus dem Intellektualismus heraus, es zeigte sich, daß einigen der Teilnehmer gegenüber das Wort: Ecclesia catholica non Romana geradezu wie eine Befreiung gewirkt hat. Denn wir sind heute durchaus auf dem Standpunkte, daß der Rationalismus ebenso überwunden werden muß wie das Welttum der römischen Kirche; daß die Menschheit wiederum sich zusammenfinden muß in einem allgemeinen geistigen Leben, das aber nicht in Anspruch genommen werden darf durch irgendein weltliches Herrschaftsgelüste.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":205,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/208/1921-11-13/p047"}],"english":["GA 208/1921-11-13/p044"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":205,"en_words":229,"ratio":1.12,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.0,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5958,"original_word_count":5965,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Anna R.
