The Catholic Church and Slavery
Dr. Paul Kengor
Franciscan University of Steubenville
Faith speaks to reason—and reason responds.
In the beautiful tension of the two, we find eternal truth. God gifted us our intellects so that we can hear the symphony of dialogue between faith and reason. But, as with all important conversations, it’s imperative to ask the question—are we listening?
"Faith and reason are like two wings upon which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth; and God has placed in the human heart the desire to know the truth — in a word, to know himself — so that by knowing and loving God, men and women can come to the fullness of the truth about themselves."
—ST. POPE JOHN PAUL II
