Section PDFFides et Ratio (Faith and Reason)
11 June 2009
Truth is elusive, and we all feel the pull between faith and reason. While
extremists adhere exclusively to one, and ignore the other, most of us
recognize that life requires a realistic and practical combination of both. Faith
teaches us to be dependent and obedient, while reason teaches us to be
independent and objective. Since life requires all these qualities, we should
avoid extremism and instead practice eclecticism by tempering faith with
reason.
