Inseparable Natural and Supernatural

Affirming the Catholic Church

Catholics have believed that there should be no false separation between the natural and the supernatural. The natural is seen as the path to the supernatural. The Church believes that there is perfect compatibility between faith and reason.

We see this as being an essential Western perspective, and we interpret this as the way for the Church to affirm science and evolution. This is why the Catholic Church is superior, and this is a central reason why we affirm it.

We see the natural path of biological evolution, which can be mostly understood by reason, as leading to the supernatural and Godhood, which can be mostly seen by faith. Catholic universities reaching back to the very first universities believed that there should be no separation between the natural and supernatural, and this is how we expand and affirm that concept. Will the Church agree? I suppose we shouldn't hold our breath.
