Far from falling on deaf ears, the nature of their engagement with the modern world has sparked criticism and praise from Catholics and non-Catholics alike - sometimes in surprising ways. Whether the subject is faith and reason, religion and the modern sciences, the roots and future of Europe, or the origin and ends of human freedom, John Paul II and Benedict XVI pose questions that simply cannot be ignored, regardless of whether one likes their answers.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSamuel Gregg\u003c\/b\u003e is Director of Research at the Acton Institute.
