POPE BENEDICT XVI SAYS THAT SCIENCE SHOULD NOT BE self-sufficient and must be open to faith and REVELATION
ROME (ANSA - PL) - Catholics celebrated Sunday, January 6, the Epiphany with the appearance of the Magi to Bethlehem: Melchior, Gaspar and Balthazar. During the Mass dedicated to the feast of Epiphany on the day of the Magi, in front of a moltitudine di partecipanti presenti in Piazza San Pietro, Papa Benedetto XV ha difeso l’umiltà e ha chiesto che la scienza e l’intelligenza aiutino a comprendere la realtà. Papa Benedetto XVI ha affermato che la scienza è insufficiente per comprendere la realtà, ed ha invocato l’apertura da parte della scienza a “rivelazioni e richiami divini”. Per il Sommo Pontefice, le persone sono molto poco modeste nel cammino di ricerca della verità, ed ha richiesto che la realtà venga compresa attraverso una unità tra “intelligenza e fede, scienza e rivelazione”, le due luci che guidarono il cammino dei Re Magi, “saggi aperti al mistero di Dio”, ha detto il Papa. Nell’Angelus Epiphany, the Pope stressed the need for science is not "viable" open to "further divine revelations and reminders." Humility and the ability to listen, says Joseph Ratzinger, were the principal qualities of the Magi, who are "models" of "genuine seekers of truth." "The Magi, explained Benedict XVI, they were men of science in a very broad sense, observing the cosmos it was a great book full of signs and messages from God to man" . Their knowledge, therefore, very far from considering self-sufficient, was open to further divine revelations. " There was no shame to ask for instructions from the religious leaders of the Jews, "noted Joseph Ratzinger," they needed the guidance of the priests and scribes to know exactly where the place you wish to go, though they were wise men who studied the stars and knew the history of peoples. " "They could have said," Let us alone, we do not need anyone, "avoiding, according to the mentality of today, all the" contamination "generated by the marriage of science and the word of God Three Kings, said, listened to the prophecies and accepted. They, like real papers, were open to mysteries that occur in a surprising way, "said Benedict XVI. The pope also extended best wishes to the Eastern Orthodox celebrate Christmas today, according to the old Julian calendar, as opposed to December 25 for the Catholics.
Vedic SAY WHAT?
When any religion or faith is lacking in logic and philosophy, then it is sentimental material. The philosophy and logic with no understanding of God are simply a waste of time ... Thus, both should be combined, with the philosophy of religion. You should understand the principles with religious philosophy and logic. We are calling students and we are presenting the religion based on the philosophy and logic. We do not follow blindly. We have no dogmas. We have reason, philosophy and science. If you want to understand this Krsna consciousness on the basis of philosophy, logic and science, we are prepared to present. 'S ultimate goal, however, is to surrender to the Supreme.
