The Church and Reason

I'm currently working on one of my most challenging projects from this semester: a rhetorical analysis of the Council of Trent's decree on the Holy Eucharist. I'm so glad that I chose this topic, though; it is amazingly interesting to actually write out rhetorical syllogisms pulled from the text and see that even based on cold, Aristotilean logic, these doctrines make sense (provided you accept the premises on which they're based). Good stuff.
