Accordingly, Weber proposed that politics is the sharing of state power between various groups, whereas political leaders are those who wield this power.[13] As such, a politician, in Weber's view, must not be a man of the "true Christian ethic" (i.e. the ethic of the Sermon on the Mount), in that one cannot have the injunction to 'turn the other cheek'.[15] An adherent of such an ethic ought rather to be understood as a saint, for it is only saints, according to Weber, that can appropriately follow it.[15] The political realm is no realm for saints; a politician ought to marry the verantwortungsethik and the gesinnungsethik ("ethic of attitude" and the "ethic of responsibility")[16] and must possess both a passion for his vocation and the capacity to distance himself from the subject of his exertions (the governed).[15]
