Mr Holdsworth discusses the typical protestant distrust of reason and the logical faculty.
I have been accused in the comments on some of my videos, more than a few times, of being someone who relies too much on human logic and reason and not enough on scripture or revelation to make my case.
Or if that accusation isn’t made outright, I’ll often see complaints from people saying that I didn’t cite any or enough bible verses and that this is a typical problem with Catholics – we aren’t fluent enough in the Bible so we have to rely on fallible human logic.
And whenever this accusation arises, it’s usually at the hands of someone who is clearly aligned with a protestant theological position. And not all protestants would be motivated by this instinct, but for those that are, I would say they come by it honestly as something inherited from a tradition of thought that goes all the way back to Luther.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
