Pope Benedict XVI : Faith and reason in debates

“The courage to engage the whole breadth of reason, and not the denial of its grandeur – this is the program with which a theology grounded in Biblical faith enters into the debates of our time...

A reason which is deaf to the divine and which relegates religion into the realm of subcultures is incapable of entering into the dialogue of cultures.”

Secular rationalism, the Pope urged, needs to be tempered by including theology in our debates.
