Then he learns to render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s20—his admiration unto the renowned person—but he also learns to hold fast to his issue despite all celebrities.

That is, because these books are not by these authors, are not authentic, are not integri [complete], are not inspired (this cannot be disproved, since it is an object of faith), it does not follow that these authors have not existed and, above all, that Christ has not existed. To that extent, the believer is still equally free to accept it, equally free, please note, because if he accepted it by virtue of a demonstration, he would be on the verge of abandoning the faith.
