” He is noted by no one as any sort of preeminent authority on Protestantism.”

I said Protestant authority, not authority on Protestantism so you’re wrong in any case... Again.

Can we agree that he was an authority on architecture who happened to be a Protestant???

He wasn’t really even that. He was an Anglo-Catholic architect who was brought up Episcopalian.

No, he was a Protestant authority on art and architecture. And although I didn’t say it then, he clearly was an authority of Protestantism as well in regard to Protestant aesthetics or lack thereof.
