¹ While he does not deny that there are muddy waters even in Protestantism, he finds a radical difference in the fact that, after all, the Protestant churches possess the true Christ, whilst the Christ of the Catholics is but “an anæmic, spineless, byzantine Jesus,” who inspires “a subtle sense of fear” (p. 305). Apart from the strange figure of a spineless Christ, who yet is capable of inspiring fear, it would not be unfair to ask Mr. Taglialatela of which Protestant Christ he speaks—of the Christ of the orthodox Protestant theology, or of the Jesus of the liberal theology? And which one of them is truly the Jesus of “the four evangelical biographies,” to which he makes appeal? The charge of worshipping a boneless Christ was usually brought by Catholic polemists of yore against Protestantism, especially on account of the doctrine of salvation by faith alone. How comes it now to be turned against the Catholics themselves?
