Christianity is Essential for Civilization

"The civilization of the world is Christian civilization; the more frankly Christian it is, so much is it more true, more lasting and more productive of precious fruit; the more it withdraws from the Christian ideal, so much the feebler is it, to the great detriment of society... (The Judgement of the Nations, Dawson p. 97)

"...Without justice the state is nothing but organized robbery and the law of nations nothing but the law of the destruction of the weak." (Ibid., p. 100)
