Sunday's class
Yesterday we talked about the Gospels and the men who wrote them. We read the opening lines for each of the gospels. AND we talked briefly about St. Thomas Aquinas.
Remember when we got to the Gospel of St. John? The one who starts out talking baseball (In the big inning...)? And I told you that while we read "In the beginning was the Word" the original word "logos" could be translated to "logic or reason"?
Well, look what the Pope was talking about yesterday:
Vatican City, Jan 28, 2007 / 12:44 pm (CNA).- Pope Benedict XVI used this week's Angelus to return to one of his favorite topics: the relation of Faith and Reason. Citing the example of St. Thomas Aquinas, whose feast day was Sunday, Benedict urged the faithful to remember that faith and reason are not exclusionary principles.
"When man limits his thoughts to only material objects . . . he closes himself to the great questions about life, himself and God," the Holy Father said. While modern science has granted mankind numerous benefits, he explained, it has also led many to believe that the only real things are those which can be experimented with.”
According to Benedict, man must "rediscover human rationality in a new way, open to the light of the divine Logos and His perfect revelation that is Jesus Christ, the Son of God made man."
