On the one hand, as Catholics we have sensual art, smells and bells, provocative Gregorian chant, etc. On the other, we are the faith tradition that produced the intellectualism of the scholastics.

1) A transcendent God who surpasses our understanding, and is the object of our desires
2) A transcendent God who created our human reasoning as a participation in His own, such that we can be both mystical and "logical" at the same time.
