Bad reason and the “Manhattan Declaration”

R.J. Snell writing at The Public Discourse: “[M]ore noteworthy are objections [to the Manhattan Doctrine] rising from a camp one might expect to agree with the document: namely, a certain kind of conservative Protestant, often, although not always, of a strongly Calvinistic tendency . . . The notion that the natural law forgets sin and thus depreciates the necessity of Christ and the supremacy of Scripture is an old one, to be sure, and is a common objection raised against the ethics and theology of Thomas Aquinas by this same group of Protestants.”
