Excerpt from Les Conflits de la Science Et de la Religion
Quiconque connait la situation intellectuelle des classes éclairées en Europe et en Amérique, sait qu'elles s'éloignent chaque jour davantage des croyances religieuses établies, et que, si quelques hommes seulement accusent leur diver gence, des masses considérables opèrent leur scission en silence et en secret.
Le mouvement est si fort, si irrésistible, qu'il ne saurait être arrêté par le mépris ni par la force. La dérision, l'in jure, la contrainte, tout est impuissant contre lui, et le temps approche Où devront se réaliser les effets politiques de la révolution religieuse.
Déjà l'esprit ecclésiastique est banni des conseils des gouvernements; déjà, l'ardent militaire mise au service de la foi n'est plus qu'un souvenir, et les marbres qui parlent des chevaliers croisés, le garderont bientôt seuls dans les caveaux des églises.
