Man is free to research. Anyone who believes that research could destroy religion only shows that their religiosity is on shaky ground. The divine essence has placed the urge to research in human nature so that man may be active. It would be a sin against this urge not to live a life of research. I recognize God through research. God recognizes himself in my research. Truth is a good thing in human development, from which truly religious life will never have anything to fear. But this is a fundamental truth that pervades the New Testament.
