One cannot be blamed for contending that it was not a potential "superiority" of the Christian faith over other creeds which enabled the West to attain to its brilliant material achievements: for those achievements are unthinkable without the historic struggle of Europe's intellectual forces against the very principles of the Christian Church. Its present materialistic conception of life is Europe's revenge on Christian "spirituality" which had gone away from the natural truths of life.
