Right there are the very words used by Calvinists, to describe the Protestant
Ethics' belief system: Victoria Wren's
"implicit acceptance of the four episodes as outward and visible signs of an
inward and spiritual grace belonging to

Right before that we see a description of Roman Catholicism--"her private,
outre' brand of Roman Catholicism merely
condoned what the Church as a whole regarded as sin"--as the very Protestantism
described above when the real
tenets of Catholicism are violated with
self-justification..............................

Spirit of Capitalism is what he
is intending here................about Victoria Wren.....
