“If man cannot use his reason to ask about the essential things in his life, where he comes from and where he is going, about what he should do and may do, about living and dying, but has to leave these decisive questions to feeling, divorced from reason, then he is not elevating reason but dishonoring it.” --Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI)

“The desperate situation of philosophy...has become the desperate situation of our faith. Faith cannot be set free unless reason itself opens up again.” --Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI)

“When mystery no longer counts for anything, then politics necessarily becomes the religion.” --Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI)
