Mission statement

We are calling all Catholics to see how the world looks through the eyes of faith.

Blind faith (a.k.a. "fideism") is a vice, not a virtue.

God created us as intelligent beings. Our powers of the intellect are part of being in the "image and likeness" of God (Gen 1:27-18). God is not offended by our thinking about what and why we believe. On the contrary, Peter tells us we should "always be ready to give an explanation [Greek: apologos] to anyone who asks you for a reason [Greek: //logos//--word, logic] for your hope" (1 Pet 3:15).

Faith is a vision of reality granted to us by God-revealing-God.

Everything looks different when we see the world from the perspective of the faith.

We have good reasons for what we believe.

Teaching faith to think and reason to believe is the task of systematic theology. St. Thomas Aquinas set the pattern for the union of faith and reason in the 13th century (1225-1274 AD). In his view, a sound philosophy is the handmaid of theology, just as today mathematics is the handmaid of science. Philosophy is not theology, nor is mathematics physics, but it is impossible to do theology without a philosophy or to do physics without mathematics. If the philosophical assumptions used in theological reasoning are unsound, the theology will be unsound.

The goal is to think faithfully and believe intelligently so that we may:

  • Preach Jesus faithfully.
  • Love our neighbor as Jesus has loved us.

I aim to believe what the Church teaches and teach what the Church believes.

The purpose of Vatican II: "To strive calmly to show the strength and beauty of the doctrine of the faith" (John Paul II, "Fidei Depositum").

The heart is the seat of wisdom. It is our heart that keeps our minds on track. Another name for the show: "Cor ad cor loquitur"--"Heart to Heart." Or "Heart of Wisdom."

"Faith and Reason Free-for-all Bother-Father Friday."

"When I was a child, I used to talk as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I became a man, I put aside childish things" (1 Cor 13:11).
