Serving Christ and Connecting Catholics in Western North Carolina
Curiosity is often considered a trait to be encouraged in children and cultivated into adulthood. We equate curiosity with inquisitiveness and intelligence. Wondering “how” has led to many advances in science. Asking “why” has driven philosophy for centuries. Imagining “what if” has inspired great works of art.
Early on in “Gaudium et Spes,” the Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World, we read: “the Church has always had the duty of scrutinizing the signs of the times and of interpreting them in the light of the Gospel. Thus, in language intelligible to each generation, she can respond to the perennial questions which men ask about this present life and the life to come, and about the relationship of the one to the other.”
