00:05En primer lugar, soy no longer un sociólogista,
00:12otherwise I would obviously share this diffused notion of ritual.
00:18I have a very narrowly defined conception of ritual, like Martin Riesel wrote.
00:29It refers only to practices of facing and encountering and mastering forces of salvation and calamity.
00:49This totally liquefied notion that everything is ritual, I don't think that it is even useful.
01:02In this narrow sense, we have only one domain where we could, as far as I can see,
01:17have a discussion, namely nationalism.
01:23His nationalism, which is 19th century nationalism, but unfortunately not only 19th century nationalism,
01:41was highly ritualized.
01:43We have still these ritual symbols, if you see this inauguration of the president and so on,
01:54and so on.
01:59I mean, it depends on the self-understanding of at least a defining majority whether a constitution
02:16is still understood as being rooted in God's grace or not.
02:33But, I mean, there are, if I look at television, American political rituals, of course I see the religious overtones
02:46and implications.
02:48And I don't think there is nothing wrong with it until the Supreme Court makes a case on a religious
03:01justification.
03:01Then, the limit is überschritten.
03:07Transcended.
03:09That means every institution that legislates or administrates or have earnings which they have to justify
03:24two sentences in a generally accessible language as soon as they use religious arguments.
03:37We are no longer living in a political society with a secularized political society.
03:49Now, so, nationalism, yeah.
03:55I mean, there is a certain heritage.
03:59But, after 189, after 76 and 189, 18, yeah.
04:10If it really comes to a conflict between conflicting religions and conflicting ideological parties,
04:24we must refer to a law which stands on its own feet.
04:38it is more than три-an-si hi-and-si hi-and-si hi-and-si hi-and-si hi
04:38-and-si hi-and-si hi-and-si hi-and-si hi-and-si hi-and-si hi-and-si
04:38hi-and-si hi-and-si hi-and hi-and-si hi-and-si hi-and-si hi-and-si
04:38hi-and-si hi-and-si hi.
