The Society Of Christendom And Especially Of Western Christendom Up To The Explosion, Which We Call The Reformation, Had Been A Society Of Owners: A Proprietarial Society. It Was One In Which There Remained Strong Bonds Between One Class And Another, And In Which There Was A Hierarchy Of Superior And Inferior, But Not, In The Main, A Distinction Between A Restricted Body Of Possessors And A Main Body Of Destitute At The Mercy Of The Possessors, Such As Our Society Has Become.
