As each essay in this collection shows, it is only in the context of the whole of the Tradition, faith and reason, that each part remains viable. In other words, to end where we began in the introduction to this collection, the Catholic Intellectual Tradition unites “existentially by intellectual effort two orders of reality that too frequently tend to be placed in opposition as though they were antithetical: the search for truth, and the certainty of already knowing the fount of truth” (Ex Corde Ecclesiae 1)."(pg 102)engWith permission of the license/copyright holdercatholic social doctrineChristian denominationsRoman CatholicArticle
