Excerpt from Six Masters in Disillusion Sacred Books of Christianity and the authoritative decrees of the Church, have ceased to form part of the mental culture of the west-european races. For although the Catholic Church still lives - and he must know little of humanity who doubts that it will go on living - ecclesiastical cosmology, history and psychology are things of the past as irrelevant to contemporary knowledge as the Hindu Pan theon or Muslim Demonology. The work of the rationalist emancipators in this respect has been done, and done so thoroughly that it forms part of the unquestioned mental heritage that everybody takes for granted. Nevertheless we, or at least those of us who are disillusioned to-day, are not rationalists. We have pushed analysis further than our fathers did, nay, in our turn, we have laid sacrilegious hands on their standard of truth. It has fared no better at our hands than that of their fathers did at theirs. This is, however, not the place to discuss contemporary disillusion.
