Ahead of his time? Still?

The Catholic Church had just dogmatically pronounced the pope infallible and the bodily assumption of Mary into Heaven.

Yet Nietzsche wrote,

Since man no longer believes that a God is guiding the destinies of the world as a whole . . . men must set themselves ecumenical goals, embracing the whole earth.

HATH, Part 1, aphorism 25.

Really?

No, not really.

Not at all.

Not on your life.
