It’s interesting that even those that concluded God like Descartes were banned.
Christ specifically was impressed with a Centurion that sought his healing power (for another, not himself) without even being a Jew or follower of Christ. As in, Christ was simply amazed:
“Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.” (Matthew 8:10, NIV)
Descartes would haven fallen under such faith. I really need to study how the Catholic Church butchered so many interpretations.
- bormaj 1y agoI think the Catholic church's actions could be rationalized through the lens of preserving influence. Descartes' ideas could be viewed as fostering a mindset of self-reliance and independence which is antithetical to a dependence on the church.
