I will mention just one, which shows how a Catholic priest's awareness of the German national soul is lived in his feelings and perceptions, as I have indicated today in terms of knowledge. In 1850, Xavier Schmid wrote in an unassuming booklet in which he advocated a shared, in-depth understanding of Christianity as felt by the Germans: “Just as Israel was chosen to bring forth the Christ in the flesh, so the German people are chosen to give birth to him spiritually. Just as the political liberation of that remarkable people was dependent on the inner one, so the greatness of the German people will essentially depend on whether it fulfills its spiritual mission.” How is the grasp of Christianity in the mind of this simply educated priest Xavier Schmid characterized! What I have characterized is already alive in the deepest popular mind, even if, of course, one would have to coin different words than I had to coin here today to show how what has been characterized today lives in the simplest popular mind.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"14.

Wie bei jenem merkwürdigen Volke die politische Freiwerdung von der inneren bedingt war, so wird auch die Größe des deutschen Volkes wesentlich davon abhängen, ob es seine geistige Sendung erfüllt.» Wie ist da das Erfassen des Christentums im Geiste von diesem einfach gebildeten Priester Xavier Schmid gekennzeichnet! Es lebt das, was ich charakterisiert habe, schon durchaus bis in das tiefste Volksgemüt hinein, wenn man auch selbstverständlich andere Worte prägen müßte, als ich sie heute hier zu prägen hatte, um nun zu zeigen, wie im einfachsten Volksgemüt dasjenige lebt, was heute charakterisiert worden ist.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":170,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/65/1916-04-13/p048"}],"english":["GA 65/1916-04-13/p048"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":170,"en_words":180,"ratio":1.06,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","anchors","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.06,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":12620,"original_word_count":11914,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"From Central European Intellectual Life","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA065/English/SOL2024/19160413p01.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.
