Platonism and the Catholic Church: An Intersection of Philosophy and Religion

Platonism, a philosophical system founded by the Greek philosopher Plato in the 4th century BC, has had a significant impact on Western thought and culture. One area where the influence of Platonism can be seen is in the Catholic Church, particularly in its theology and philosophy. This article will explore the intersection between Platonism and the Catholic Church and how it has influenced the Church's understanding of God, the human soul, and the relationship between reason and faith.

 It is often religious people who most need to see that; they need to know that astronomy is wonderful and that they shouldn't be afraid of it. I often quote John Paul II, when he said [of evolution] that "truth cannot contradict truth." If you think you already know everything about the world, you are not a good scientist, and if you think you know all there is to know about God, then your religious faith is at fault.

Marie-Théodor Ratisbonne, N.D.S., (December 28, 1802 – January 10, 1884) was a French Jewish convert to the Catholic Church, who became a priest and missionary and who later founded the Congregation of Our Lady of Sion. He was the brother of Marie-Alphonse Ratisbonne, who joined him in this effort. He was baptized in 1826, at which time he added the name Marie (Mary) to his given name, and was ordained as a priest in 1830.
