Conservative, but conscientious, revisers decide that whole passages, some of dogmatic and some of ethical importance, are interpolations.

In all these cases the subject of the predication is an entire proposition.
No doubt the enemies of the Catholic faith would have been better pleased if there had been absolute unanimity when the final vote was taken on the widely-discussed question of infallibility.
