Well, then I'll respond with precision. That's an opinion, not anything you've derived from facts or logic.
Do you really want to categorize Augustine, Aquinas, Newman, and John Paul II as "uninformed" or "superstitious"? Would I be correct in supposing that you're completely unfamiliar with their writings?
Tell me, why do you think men like Louis Pasteur or Robert George or J. Budziszewski or Peter Kreeft embraced this "uniformed" and "superstitious" belief system? Don't know who Robert George, J. Budziszewski, or Peter Kreeft are? Maybe you need to be better informed ...
All were reasonably intelligent men but limited by the times in which they lived and the circumstances in which they were raised. While many have said how brilliant JP II was, like a good politician, even in his "best" writings, he bloviated. The best I'll say of him he was sufficently articulate but limited in his scope as, indeed, were Newman and Augustine.
Don't know who Robert George, J. Budziszewski, or Peter Kreeft are?
Never heard of them, and at this juncture I've no need nor desire to know of them further.
