Absolutely. I appreciate so much the importance of connecting faith and reason, because I think that is what the Pope has challenged all of us to do is to reflect upon our own faith. Clearly we are in a point in this world now where there are individuals who are not desirous of joining faith and reason together. And so I think we ought to be commending the Pope for bringing forward this incredibly important issue that will allow us, should we be able to navigate these waters well, that will allow us to continue to survive in a world at peace.
