23. ^ The Protestant Reformers formed a new and radically different theological opinion on ecclesiology, that the
visible Catholic Church is "catholic" (lower-case "c") rather than "Catholic" (upper-case "c"). Accordingly, there
is not an indefinite number of Parochial, or Congregational, or National churches, constituting, as it were, so many
ecclesiastical individualities, but one great spiritual republic of which these various organizations form a part,
although they each have very different opinions. This was markedly far-removed from the traditional and historic
Catholic Christian understanding that the Catholic Church is the one true Church of Christ. Yet in the Protestant
understanding, the "visible church" is not a genus, so to speak, with so many species under it. It is thus you may
think of the State, but the visible church is a totum integrale, it is an empire, with an ethereal emperor, rather than
a visible one. The churches of the various nationalities constitute the provinces of this empire; and though they
are so far independent of each other, yet they are so one, that membership in one is membership in all, and
separation from one is separation from all.... This conception of the church, of which, in at least some aspects, we
have practically so much lost sight, had a firm hold of the Scottish theologians of the seventeenth century. Dr.
James Walker in The Theology of Theologians of Scotland. (Edinburgh: Rpt. Knox Press, 1982) Lecture iv. pp.95-
