the anti-reason roots of Protestantism


"One of the most fundamental breaks with Catholic tradition was Luther's rejection of reason (...).
We should not therefore be surprised by the declaration of the Reformer that it is impossible to harmonize faith and reason, that reason is opposed to faith and ought to be killed and interred, that there is nothing as contrary to faith as law and reason, and that those who want to enter Heaven must abandon, conquer, annihilate and destroy all reason."

(Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn, Liberty or Equality, pp. 221-222)
