Between God and man, between the gospel and each soul, the interpreter is Love. - Alexandre Vinet

Has the reason shared the condition of the other faculties, which our fall has so grievously injured? Is the reason corrupted? Mediately, yes; immediately, no: at least that is my belief. Our reason is the reporter of our sensations: if our sensations make a false deposition, our reason will make a false judgment. And this is what happens through the obscuration of our moral sense and the tumult of our passions; the judge is uncorrupted, but he is misinformed. p. 35

The most doubtful reasoning appears to us clear and conclusive, when we can, in any way, twist it to an accordance with what we desire.
