What is Fides et Ratio

[missionarybelle]

I can't find any short summaries of the encyclicals, so i'm wondering what Fides et Ratio is about... just what it addresses and stuff

CatholicCulture.org gives short summaries for all of their articles, and they have all of JPII's encyclicals. so, go there if u need a short summary. here's what they have for [i]Fides et Ratio[/i]:[list]Encyclical of Pope John Paul II promulgated on Sept. 14, 1998 and made public on Oct. 15, 1998. Shows the relationship between reason and Faith and how Faith broadens the horizons of reason and philosophy and confirms them in their quest for Truth.

here is the encyclical:
