“Jesus is the truth, in a sense that is not only universal but also communal and personal; and the challenge is to live the search for truth today in the daily life of the church, of Christian communities,” the Holy Father said, Saturday 17 September while meeting with pilgrims from two Italian dioceses.
Perth theologian Professor Matthew Ogilvie writes that secular universities are filled with people searching for truth.
However, a lack of faith in the fount of all truth and lacking confidence, they resort to cancelling.
Saint John Paul II, writes Professor Ogilvie, did not tell us to preserve truth by suppressing challenges but by pursuing a higher truth.
