James Wylie was a Catholic theologian.

It appears you have "misstated" the facts, should Wiki be correct:

James Aitken Wylie (1808-1890) was a Scottish historian of religion and Presbyterian minister. He was a prolific writer and is most famous for writing The History of Protestantism... He published his book The Papacy: its History, Dogmas, Genius, and Prospects in 1851, winning a prize of a hundred guineas from the Evangelical Alliance. The Protestant Institute appointed him Lecturer on Popery in 1860. He continued in this role until his death in 1890, publishing in 1888 his work The Papacy is the Antichrist. Emphasis mine.

A full retraction should be proper in this circumstance.

That’s a deceitful omission. I’m glad you checked.

For some reason, I was accepting his claim at face value.

Silly me.

My apologies then. I stated him as a Catholic theologian, but the source I found simply stated him as a Christian theologian.

I did not find him in Wikipedia, though.
