Bishop
Giuseppe Sarto In speaking to a group of young men, Bishop Sarto was quick to point out
that “Religion has no fear of science.
Christianity does not tremble before discussion, but before
ignorance.” He continued by
telling the group that faith should never be rejected without a close study of
it. Too many people walk away
from the teachings of the church without ever truly knowing them or examining
them.
