Have you wondered...
Why should the Church be 'meddling' with secular issues? Why hasn't she learn something after Galileo Galilei's incident? Can the Church be reasonable in these secular issues (i.e Can Faith and Reason be compatible)?
If you answered "Yes"...
You are invited to the first of a series of talks: "Fides et Ratio" (Faith and Reason)
