Justified Reason

10/6/2014

Another article that was handed out at our first RCIA Meeting was Justified Reason by Adam D. Hincks and published in the Jesuit Magazine called AMERICA. In it, the Hincks describes a female friend who was getting ready to enter the catechumenate in order to become catholic. At the time she was getting ready to "check her head in at the door" in order to prepare herself to make room for belief. However, she eventually came to realize that Catholic belief is not set up in opposition to reason and that both reason and faith, believing and knowing are employed. The author goes on to talk about how faith and knowledge are related.

In the comment section below, can you identify and describe links between faith, reason, and knowledge. What kind of concrete examples does the author give? Can you provide any of your own examples from your own life?
