An "amateur" theologian as opposed to today's "professional" theologians of today. But there is no professional or amateur when it comes to woo-woo.
For example, the reason why RCC proclaimed a dogma that Mary flew to heaven, instead of dying, is because a six-year-old boy, Gilles Bouhours, visited the pope in 1950 and told him that he had a vision of Mary who told him that, although it is not in the Bible.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
