He claimed that Christ “willed to be born of the Virgin Mary under an edict of the Roman authority”.

    of this poem I have noticed a change. It was brought up in class‚ the passage where Dante the narrator explicitly addresses the reader. Again‚ on page 229‚ Dante stops to take a moment addressing the reader‚ “If‚ reader‚ you are slow now to believe / what I shall tell‚ that is no cause for wonder‚ / for I who saw it hardly can accept it.” (Canto XXV‚ 46-48) I am curious about Dante’s purpose.
