The Church Militant
Friedrich Nietzsche, letter to Malwida von Meysenbug (Sils-Maria, September 24, 1886; tr. Peter Fuss and Henry Shapiro):

Only a "church militant" needs intolerance; and faith deeply at peace and sure of itself has room for skepticism, for mildness towards other people and other things.
Nur eine ecclesia militans hat die Intoleranz nöthig; jede tiefe Ruhe und Sicherheit des Glaubens erlaubt die Skepsis, die Milde gegen Andere und Anderes.
