Ave Maria University’s Michael Dauphinais looks at the 25th anniversary of JPII’s Fides et Ratio and Lea Wojciechowski-Ross discusses the Joy of Evangelization and the St. Paul Street Evangelization gala.

 

What did John Paul II say about Faith and Reason?

On September 14, 1998, Pope St. John Paul II issued his encyclical Fides et ratio, which addressed the crucial relationship between Faith and Reason. He describes Faith and Reason as “Two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of Truth.” We take a closer look with Dr. Michael Dauphinais.
