26. (26) The faith of the church of today takes away from God His Divine attributes, and ascribes to Him merely human attributes, such as, that He has looked upon men with anger, wishes to be reconciled, is reconciled by love for the Son and by intercession, and that He is willing to be appeased by the Passion and by the distress seen in the Son, and so to revert to mercy and to impute and apply the Son's merit to the man that supplicated from faith alone; besides many other things.
