The mere listening became more and more common. Therefore the need arose to make one's appeal to something different, when one spoke of spiritual things. The need arose somehow to draw forth from the listener what one wanted him to have as a conception of the spiritual world. The need arose as it were to work upon him, until at length he should feel impelled even out of his hardened body to say something about the spiritual world. Thus there arose the need to give instruction about spiritual things in the play of question and answer. There is always a suggestive element in questions. And when one asked: What is baptism? Having prepared the human being so that he would give a certain answer; or when one asked: What is Confirmation? What is the Holy Spirit? What are the seven deadly sins?—when one trained them in this play of question and answer, one provided a substitute for the simple elemental listening. To begin with this was done with those who entered the Schools where this was first made possible. Through question and answer, what they had to say about the spiritual worlds was thoroughly brought home to them. In this way the Catechism arose.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"V.

Da entstand denn das Bedürfnis, an etwas anderes zu appellieren, wenn man von dem Geistigen sprach. Da entstand das Bedürfnis, aus dem, der zuhören sollte, herauszuziehen dasjenige, was er als Ansicht haben sollte über die geistige Welt. Es entstand das Bedürfnis, ihn gewissermaßen so zu bearbeiten, daß er sich aus diesem verhärteten Körper heraus doch noch gedrängt fühle, etwas über die geistige Welt zu sagen. Und daraus entstand das Bedürfnis, in Frage- und Antwortspiel die Unterweisung über die geistige Welt zu geben. Indem man fragt - Fragen haben immer etwas Suggestives -: Was ist die Taufe? — und den Menschen auf eine bestimmte Antwort präpariert, oder: Was ist die Firmung? Was ist der Heilige Geist? Was ist der Tod? Welches sind die sieben Hauptsünden? — indem man dieses Frage- und Antwortspiel präpariert, ersetzt man das selbstverständliche elementare Zuhören.
