Faith and Reason: Friends or Foes?

A brief video excerpt from a talk (in full at http://www.op-stjoseph.org ) delivered at St. Vincent Ferrer Church on Manhattan's Upper East Side on June 25, 2010 by Father James Dominic Brent, O.P., of the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, D.C., who teaches at The Catholic University of America's School of Philosophy. Fr. Brent follows the line of thought of "Fides et Ratio"(Faith and Reason), in which Pope John Paul II observed that, "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."
