Our Rationale

"The split between reason and faith was the expression of one of humanity’s great tragedies.  It damaged not only religion, but culture. …Faith and reason are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth.  Today we need to work for a reconciliation between faith and reason.  Seeking the truth and sharing it with others is an important service to society, a service which scholars in particular are called to render.  Remember that reason is God’s gift, a mark of the likeness to God, which every man bears within himself."

Pope John Paul II
