They are by no means enemies of religious customs; should certain circumstances require their participation they do what is required with a patient and unassuming seriousness. On the part of Pius, or merely churchgoing people, there is seldom any idea of how much good will it is now necessary for a German scholar to take the problem of religion seriously.
