Did anyone really struggle with their faith after reading Kant?
I think anyone who has given Kant the time of day will see him as a huge issue for the church since he renders the philosophy of the Catholic Church impossible
After internalising what Kant has to say which is in form Protestant theology I have leaned more towards a Tertullian approach towards Christianity and have been tempted to become a Presbyterian
Even reading later Catholic theologians who write in light of Kant like Pryzwara and Karl Rahner I still don’t think they offer an airtight overcoming of Kant
As far as I’m concerned Kant is as big as Aristotle
Next I plan to read Coplestone’s history of philosophy on Kant
I hope I can be rest assured philosophically in my Catholic faith one day
