Willermoz, embarrassed and hesitant. He ended by saying, however, that Jesus Christ is not God, he was only the son of God, like Cagliostro himself, a philosopher. I asked him how did he explain such and such passages in the Gospel that he had quoted at some occasions; He claimed that these verses were false and added to the text. He asked me to tell him what my beliefs were on this matter. I made my profession of faith. (Willermoz, letter to Charles von Hesse, 8, 9 November 1784). The adventurer felt the game was lost. But he was a man dedicated to win every discussion, even after such a defeating blow. I reminded him of these embarrassing promises. He claimed that, given this difference in our beliefs, it was impossible for him to give me any proof of his power. To which I replied that a difference of opinion should not prevent him from proving such things. Cagliostro persisted in his refusal to demonstrate what he claimed himself to be able to do. Willermoz remarked that he was breaking his word. Cagliostro claimed that he had extorted. Willermoz was angry, and claimed him to be leading his members by false pretences.
