Boy, is that the truth.
If we presuppose that man is "reasonable" by nature, we will always err on the side of attributing to man what belongs to God alone.
"Unless we have divine teaching to enlighten us, our own reason will beget nothing but mere vanity...What madness it is to embrace nothing but what commends itself to human reason! What authority will God's word have if it is not admitted any farther than we are inclined to receive it?" -- John Calvin
The joke is that Rome fancies itself founded upon "reason" when, in fact, it is riddled with superstition and fallacy because it departs so drastically from the word of God.

ABSOLUTELY, INDEED.
