A lot of reporters misreported the Pope's speech in Germany, then whined they didn't understand it (Except for the NYTimes, which misread it and then printed a scathing editorial based on their misreading).
So when I see the normally dyspeptic Spengler, no friend of catholicism, explain faith and reason, I sat up.
Summary of his summary:
Reason and faith need each other, the pope argued in Regensburg....nature is logical, but why? That answer is found in theology and philosophy.
But reason as understood by the West allows us to question even God...in Islam, reason is merely a sign of God, used only to help us be in awe of him and obey him not allowing independent thought. It does not allow doubt.
