What's bred in the bone, pg 328-329

"You work under the wing of the Devil, do you?"
"I must, if I am to work at all. Christ would have had no time for a man like me. Have you noticed how, in the Gospels, He keeps so resolutely clear of anybody who might be suspected of having any brains? Good-hearted simpletons and women who were little better than slaves, those were His followers. No wonder Catholicism had to take a resolute stand in order to include people of intellect and artists; Protestantism has tried to reverse the process. Do you know what I should like?"
"A new revelation?"
"Yes, that might come of it. I should like a conference to which Christ would bring all His saints, and the Devil would bring all his scholars and artists, and let them have it out."
"Who would judge the results?"
"That's the sticker. Not God, certainly, as the father of both leaders."
