"In 1891, at a meeting of the Established Presbytery of Glasgow, the Minister of Ladywell moved a motion that Müller’s teaching was ‘subversive of the Christian faith, and fitted to spread pantheistic and infidel views amongst the students and others’ and questioned Müller’s appointment as lecturer. Monsignor Alexander Munro in St Andrew’s Cathedral declared that Müller’s lectures ‘were nothing less than a crusade against Divine revelation, against Jesus Christ, and against Christianity’. The blasphemous lectures were, he continued, ‘the proclamation of atheism under the guise of pantheism’ and ‘uprooted our idea of God, for it repudiated the idea of a personal God’."
