But the catholic faith crushed him on both points.It declares that evil does not exist naturally in flesh and that therefore Christ lacked nothing human and possessed nothing unjust.Conscious of his own saving work, he cries: “See, the ruler of this world is coming, and he finds nothing in me” (John 14:30).Certainly nothing he could accuse: he could not defame a nature whose will he had not bent toward sins.
