antirational

antirational
Lacking or opposed to reason and rational thought.

This view is further illustrated by bringing forward the Catholic doctrines, showing the “antirational notion of them,” and thus exhibiting “the mysterious bearings and incomplete character of the Revelation.” <! note: Tracts for the Times actually seems to have said "anti-rationalistic"; Im not sure what the story is, if this is just a misquotation, or what.
