How often I envied the peasants their
illiteracy and lack of learning! Those statements in the creeds which to
me were evident absurdities, for them contained nothing false; they could
accept them and could believe in the truth- the truth I believed in. Only
to me, unhappy man, was it clear that with truth falsehood was interwoven
by finest threads, and that I could not accept it in that form. |

So I lived for about three years. At
first, when I was only slightly associated with truth as a catechumen and
was only scenting out what seemed to me clearest, these encounters struck
me less. When I did not understand anything, I said, "It is my fault, I
am sinful"; but the more I became imbued with the truths I was learning,
the more they became the basis of my life, the more oppressive and the
more painful became these encounters and the sharper became the line
between what I do not understand because I am not able to understand it,
and what cannot be understood except by lying to oneself. |

In spite of my doubts and sufferings I
still clung to the Orthodox Church. But questions of life arose which had
to be decided; and the decision of these questions by the Church --
contrary to the very bases of the belief by which I lived -- obliged me at
last to renounce communion with Orthodoxy as impossible. These questions
were: first the relation of the Orthodox Eastern Church to other Churches
-- to the Catholics and to the so-called sectarians. At that time, in
consequence of my interest in religion, I came into touch with believers
of various faiths: Catholics, protestants, Old-Believers, Molokans,* and
others. And I met among them many men of lofty morals who were truly
religious. I wished to be a brother to them. And what happened? That
teaching which promised to unite all in one faith and love -- that very
teaching, in the person of its best representatives, told me that these
men were all living a lie; that what gave them their power of life was a
temptation of the devil; and that we alone possess the only possible
truth. And I saw that all who do not profess an identical faith with
themselves are considered by the Orthodox to be heretics, just as the
Catholics and others consider the Orthodox to be heretics. And I saw that
the Orthodox (though they try to hide this) regard with hostility all who
do not express their faith by the same external symbols and words as
themselves; and this is naturally so; first, because the assertion that
you are in falsehood and I am in truth, is the most cruel thing one man
can say to another; and secondly, because a man loving his children and
brothers cannot help being hostile to those who wish to pervert his
children and brothers to a false belief. And that hostility is increased
in proportion to one's greater knowledge of theology. And to me who
considered that truth lay in union by love, it became self-evident that
theology was itself destroying what it ought to produce. |

This offence is so obvious to us educated
people who have lived in countries where various religions are professed
and have seen the contempt, self-assurance, and invincible contradiction
with which Catholics behave to the Orthodox Greeks and to the Protestants,
and the Orthodox to Catholics and Protestants, and the Protestants to the
two others, and the similar attitude of Old-Believers, Pashkovites
(Russian Evangelicals), Shakers, and all religions -- that the very
obviousness of the temptation at first perplexes us. One says to oneself:
it is impossible that it is so simple and that people do not see that if
two assertions are mutually contradictory, then neither of them has the
sole truth which faith should possess. There is something else here, there
must be some explanation. I thought there was, and sought that explanation
and read all I could on the subject, and consulted all whom I could. And
no one gave me any explanation, except the one which causes the Sumsky
Hussars to consider the Sumsky Hussars the best regiment in the world, and
the Yellow Uhlans to consider that the best regiment in the world is the
Yellow Uhlans. The ecclesiastics of all the different creeds, through
their best representatives, told me nothing but that they believed
themselves to have the truth and the others to be in error, and that all
they could do was to pray for them. I went to archimandrites, bishops,
elders, monks of the strictest orders, and asked them; but none of them
made any attempt to explain the matter to me except one man, who explained
it all and explained it so that I never asked any one any more about it. I
said that for every unbeliever turning to a belief (and all our young
generation are in a position to do so) the question that presents itself
first is, why is truth not in Lutheranism nor in Catholicism, but in
Orthodoxy? Educated in the high school he cannot help knowing what the
peasants do not know-that the Protestants and Catholics equally affirm
that their faith is the only true one. Historical evidence, twisted by
each religion in its own favour, is insufficient. Is it not possible, said
I, to understand the teaching in a loftier way, so that from its height
the differences should disappear, as they do for one who believes truly?
Can we not go further along a path like the one we are following with the
Old-Believers? They emphasize the fact that they have a differently shaped
cross and different alleluias and a different procession round the altar.
We reply: You believe in the Nicene Creed, in the seven sacraments, and so
do we. Let us hold to that, and in other matters do as you pease. We have
united with them by placing the essentials of faith above the
unessentials. Now with the Catholics can we not say: You believe in so and
so and in so and so, which are the chief things, and as for the Filioque*
clause and the Pope -- do as you please. Can we not say the same to the
Protestants, uniting with them in what is most important? |

My interlocutor agreed with my thoughts,
but told me that such conceptions would bring reproach on the spiritual
authorities for deserting the faith of our forefathers, and this would
produce a schism; and the vocation of the spiritual authorities is to
safeguard in all its purity the Greco-Russian Orthodox faith inherited
from our forefathers. |

And I understood it all. I am seeking a
faith, the power of life; and they are seeking the best way to fulfil in
the eyes of men certain human obligations. And fulfilling these human
affairs they fulfil them in a human way. However much they may talk of
their pity for their erring brethren, and of addressing prayers for them
to the throne of the Almighty-to carry out human purposes violence is
necessary, and it has always been applied and is and will be applied. If
of two religions each considers itself true and the other false, then men
desiring to attract others to the truth will preach their own doctrine.
And if a false teaching is preached to the inexperienced sons of their
Church-which as the truth-then that Church cannot but burn the books and
remove the man who is misleading its sons. What is to be done with a
sectarian-burning, in the opinion of the Orthodox, with the fire of false
doctrine -who in the most important affair of life, in faith, misleads the
sons of the Church? What can be done with him except to cut off his head
or to incarcerate him? Under the Tsar Alexis Mikhaylovich people were
burned at the stake, that is to say, the severest method of punishment of
the time was applied, and in our day also the severest method of
punishment is applied-detention in solitary confinement.* |

At that time Russia was at war. And
Russians, in the name of Christian love, began to kill their fellow men.
It was impossible not to think about this, and not to see that killing is
an evil repugnant to the first principles of any faith. Yet prayers were
said in the churches for the success of our arms, and the teachers of the
Faith acknowledged killing to be an act resulting from the Faith. And
besides the murders during the war, I saw, during the disturbances which
followed the war, Church dignitaries and teachers and monks of the lesser
