I think Catholics generally believe something along the lines that knowledge of truth and ethic must be reveled from God and accepted through faith. Objectivists believe it must be extrapolated through observation and reason. So our disagreement is that you think knowledge is a product of faith in God’s revelations and I think God is a product of man’s reason. I’m not interested in debating it again now, just in briefly describing it to show you why wishing me well in my faith is received about as well as me wishing you well within the religion and God you’ve created. I hope that helps.

Best regards in the New Year.

I know that. So your faith in that the extrapolation process yields knowledge.
