Investigating does not extinguish faith

Mark as read

A serious question does not offend the truth.

The modern cases of Buenos Aires, Tixtla, Legnica, Sokółka, Betania, and Chirattakonam were observed, documented, or subjected to analysis. Investigation was not presented as an automatic enemy of faith. Believing does not oblige you to accept any story without asking questions. You can examine the facts, distinguish what has been verified from interpretation, and recognize the limits of a study. The truth does not need you to protect it with credulity. Nor does a laboratory result replace the personal response of faith. Investigating serves to clear the ground of deceptions and exaggerations; afterwards, there still remains a question that no sample can answer for you: what you do with what has become known.

Key idea

A mature faith can ask questions and examine facts without fear.

Your challenge for this idea

When faced with a striking religious claim, look for the original source today before sharing it.
