I am so much alive to the almost inevitable dangers which beset religious belief whenever the clergy take part in public affairs, and I am so convinced that Christianity must be maintained at any cost in the bosom of modern democracies, that I had rather shut up the priesthood within the sanctuary than allow them to step beyond it.
Oso jabeturik nago erlijio-sineskizunek jasan beharreko arrisku ekidinezinez, horien interpretariak arazo publikoetan nahasten direnean; eta demokrazia berrietan kristautasunari kosta ahala kosta eutsi egin behar zaiola oso komentziturik nagoenez, nahiago nuke apaizak santutegian kateatzea hortik irteten uztea baino.
