Comments about the relationship between Science and Faith in the Magisterium of the Church
Abstract
The Journal of the University of Zulia begins its Number 33 with a text in which the relationship between Science and Faith in the Magisterium of the Catholic Church is analyzed. The analysis is based on the position of the Vatican Councils I and II on the importance of Faith and Reason for man, in his search for truth; simultaneously, the orientations of popes Leo XIII and John Paul II were taken into account, in their Encyclicals Aeterni Patris and Fides et Ratio, respectively; some speeches by Popes Paul VI, Benedict XVI and Francis before the Pontifical Academy of Sciences were also analyzed. The Church has sought - from the First Vatican Council to the present - to bring, harmonize and complement the relationship between Faith and Reason; her interest is not limited to promoting scientific research; She also aspires that knowledge be ordered to the welfare of the human being, and the horizon of faith is recognized in the search for truth.
