"Tolerance should be given to all religions that tolerate others, so long as their dogmas contain nothing contrary to the duties of citizenship. But whoever dares to say: Outside the Church is no salvation, ought to be driven from the State."
I, personally, think this statement says an awful lot, but it does not mention ANY particular faith.
What I see it as saying, is that any "nation" is made up of many different religious beliefs, and that all should be tolerated. To me, it says that salvation can *only* be found within any particular religion is incorrect, and that all different beliefs should be respected.I rather like that quote. I don't know the full of what it comes from, but Dr Bob didn't post the full text, only what I have quoted above.
