In their childish and vain attempt to attract the people, the modern
clergy give socialist programs the function of being schemes for putting
the Beatitudes into effect.
The trick behind it consists in reducing
to a collective structure external to the individual an ethical
behavior that, unless it is individual and internal, is nothing.
The modern clergy preach, in other words, that there is a social reform capable of wiping out the consequences of sin.
From which one can deduce the pointlessness of redemption through Christ.
