Faith and Reason

https://www.catholiceducation.org/articles/education/ed0294.htm

This article on the Catholic Education Resource Center Web site summarizes Pope John Paul II’s 1998 encyclical, Faith and Reason (Fides et Ratio). The author, John E. Fagan, includes a brief summary of the document’s teaching on faith and reason, and how each supports the other. This article is excellent background reading for chapter 2 of the student handbook. The citation numbers from the encyclical make it easy to refer to the original document, which is posted on the Vatican Web site.
