Faith and Reason: Encyclical Letter Fides Et Ratio of the Supreme Pontiff John Paul II to the Bishops of the Catholic Church on the Relationship Between Faith and Reason Quotes

“Faith and reason are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth; and God has placed in the human heart a desire to know the truth- in a word, to know himself- so that, by knowing and loving God, men and women may also come to the fullness of truth about themselves.”

“Without wonder, men and women would lapse into deadening routine and little by little would become incapable of a life which is genuinely personal.”

“Reason and faith cannot be separated without diminishing the capacity of men and women to know themselves, the world and God in an appropriate way.”
