"He enters the Church, an edifice illumined by the superior light of revelation and faith. He can leave reason, like a lantern, at the door."

That's IT! That's the quote I was looking for.

NO where in Scripture do we ever see any indication that faith is to be blind faith or that we are not to use our reason or intellect.

Tell that to the atheists, whose definition of faith standard dictionaries parrot (as did WP till recently), but a clarification is that Scripture does show implicit faith in God/Christ, but which is first based upon some degree of warrant.

The problem is that like cults, Rome presumes she is worthy of the same, which no man is, and she has provided much warrant for just the opposite.
