Weekly Reflection

Faith and Reason

10-06-2024 | Fr. John Parks

Some years ago I was on a plane flight where I struck up a conversation with the young man next to me. He was a college student at the University of Arizona. After discussing a number of topics about family and personal interests the conversation turned towards faith. He informed me that he used to be Catholic but was no longer practicing. When I inquired as to why he left the practice of his faith, he responded (to my frustrated dismay), “I got really into science.”
