ABSTRACT
The polemicist … proceeds encased in privileges that he possesses in advance and will never agree to question. … As in heresiology polemics sets itself the task of determining the intangible point of dogma, the fundamental and necessary principle the adversary has neglected, ignored, or transgressed; and it denounces this transgression as a moral failing; at the root of the error it finds passion, desire, interest, a whole series of weaknesses and inadmissible attachments that establish it as culpable.
