Default Re: Two Questions For Not Ready

The Catholic church has, at least since Aquinas (but notice not since Augustine), placed human reason at a higher level than Scripture. There is a fundamental divide between Reformed theology and Catholicism over the nature and effect of the fall. But the difference isn't over logic per se, but over man's fallen ability to use logic correctly. You never seem to get this point.

I don't get it because it is not a logically valid one. And if you would read Aquinas, you would see that he in no way put reason above divine revelation, merely asserting that God's existence and many of His attributes can also be known partially from reason alone, and that reason can be appropriately applied to scripture to know God's true meaning in same.

And again you fail to understand logical implications in things you say. If your statement about "fallen man's" inability to correctly apply reason to theological matters is correct, then the same logically applies to his ability to apply it mathematics.
