Yes. I tried the same and couldn't, but even if you do, you have to pay
$2.95 to access the article. But searching for it yields too many results
for it to be a case of misquoting. Also, among the search results, I don't
see any which mention she was misquoted. If you do, please let me know.

The reasoning is little more complicated than that, but if you want to sum
up the philosophy in a few words by interpreting it only in the context in
which the sermon was delivered, then yes, I suppose you could arrive at that
conclusion.
