Le concept de séparation entre l'Église et l'État trouve ses origines dans l'anticléricalisme du XVIIIe siècle.
The growing anticlericalism should have called for an adequate pastoral response, and not just the erudite Pastoral Letters of some Bishops, who seem to have written them more for their own personal display, than for the immediate spiritual good of the faithful.
L'anticléricarisme croissant aurait dû avoir une réponse pastorale concrète et pratique et non seulement les lettres pastorales érudites de quelques évêques qui semblaient être écrites plus pour une glorification personnelle que pour le bien spirituel immédiat des fidèles.
