I refer to the article by Joseph Caruana titled “Faith: is there a clash?” (May 24).
I agree with Mgr Joseph Farrugia that there is compatibility between faith and reason. This theory was also amply propagated by Jurgen Habermas and Pope Benedict XVI in a public lecture when they both stressed the importance of genuine secular reason and authentic religious conviction.
The truth of faith and the truths of secular science come to us from God, the first through revelation, the second through human reason.
Truth cannot contradict truth.
God, it has been well said, is not afraid of your reason. He made it. There can never be a real conflict but there may be an apparent conflict between the doctrines of faith and the findings of science.
It is as simple as that.
