This statement got to me the most:
[...] "The fact that the world can so easily tolerate us, the fact of the almost complete absence of reproach, let alone of persecution is itself a shameful testimony that we are so like the world that we cannot be distinguished from it"
Also,
[...] "We have lost even the difference, the sense of difference, between that which is sacred and that which is profane."
We need to strive to be different; not alone that, but to provide and show an alternative to the world on how to live.
