Faith and Reason, According to Pope Benedict


A thought-provoking observation:

--
"Augustine is unthinkable without his passionate journey to a radical Christian life. Moreover Bonaventure and the Franciscan theology of the thirteenth century would have been impossible without the imposing new representation of Christ in the figure of Saint Francis of Assisi, nor could Thomas Aquinas have existed without Dominic's breakthrough to the gospel and to evangelization...Pure rationality is not itself sufficient to bring forth great Christian theology."
