Are you replying to me?

"As St. Thomas Aquinas argued, because the light of reason and the light of faith both come from God, there can be no contradiction between them."
~Fides et Ratio, Pope John Paul II

Furthermore, as Fr. Ripperger points out, emotions are of the body and the demons have control of them. Distrust emotions that are disconnected from reason.

Yes. You inspired a divine rant.

I think you are putting unnecessary limits on how the big G can reach people.

The inverse of your quotes are just as true. Distrust disconnected reason just as you would distrust disconnected emotions.

God meets people where they are at.

There are plenty of people who can out reason other people, who can make another person's position look foolish, and they can be as far from God as it is possible to be, all the while thinking they are doctrinally correct.

Our corner of the internet skews towards 'best argument wins' and that can end up being like the guy who interrupts other people enjoying music by quoting the lyrics at them and questioning their enjoyment of the music, and this person can think they have got the whole thing figured out when really, they can't hear the music, and they are just ruining someone else's good time. (Not directed at you.)

God is the words and the music.

Remove either and you miss out.
