 * In reading this article much of it began to appear as a literary essay. I googled the text "It is stated again and again that he wrote it" and found that it not only appears in our article, it appears in the Catholic Encyclopedia without attribution.  A source from 2008 is attributed, but there is no statement to the effect "The Catholic encyclopedia as quoted in, and no quote marks are given.  The entire article is problematic from many respects, and I doubt this is the entire extent of the cut-and-pasting. See http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03543a.htm for the same quote. μηδείς (talk) 03:12, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
 * As stated in response to Medeis on the talk page, the Catholic Encyclopedia was published in 1917 and is, therefore, in the public domain. It would best for the text to be attributed to the original source, but that doesn't make this a copyright violation. This September 2005 edit is responsible for this quote (and probably several other 'copyright violations'), but I'm not sure how much of that text remains in the article. There's a sourcing problem, which isn't news, not a copyright violation. --  tariq abjotu  05:22, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
