Charity in Truth Quotes

“Knowing is not simply a material act, since the object that is known always conceals something beyond the empirical datum. All our knowledge, even the most simple, is always a minor miracle, since it can never be fully explained by the material instruments that we apply to it. In every truth there is something more than we would have expected, in the love that we receive there is always an element that surprises us.”
― Pope Benedict XVI, Charity in Truth: Caritas in Veritate

“Intelligence and love are not in separate compartments: love is rich in intelligence and intelligence is full of love.”
― Pope Benedict XVI, Charity in Truth: Caritas in Veritate
