Understanding this quote
The quote contrasts two kinds of patriotism. It describes “pagan patriotism” as love for one’s own country mixed with hatred of everyone else. By contrast, Christian love of the Fatherland is presented as broad enough to include all people, even adversaries and enemies, and therefore to unite people who would otherwise be divided.
