this relates to the conclusions of Adolf Von Harnack, of whom questioned the "facts " of the four Gospels and the orthodoxy of the Catholic church;
"Modern doctrine is nothing more than a mask". "The mask acquires a life of its own - the Trinity, the two natures of Christ, infallibility, and all propossitions seconding these dogmas, were the product of historic decisions and of situations that might have turned out differently.... nevertheless..early or late, product or reshaping force, this dogma remains what it has been from the beggining, a bad habit of itellectualization which the Christian picked up from the Greek, when he fled from the Jews"
'Outline of the History of Dogma'; Adolf Harnack 1851-1930
Adolf was a German theologian who believed the truth of word of god had been replaced with the mask of Catholic Orthodoxy.
