More From Pope Paul VI

I would call the attention of the reader to the difference between "reason" and "reasoning." reason is a light, reasoning a process. reason is a faculty, reasoning an exercise of that faculty. reasoning proceeds from one truth to another by means of argumentation. this generally involves the whole mind in labor and complexity. but reason does not exist merely in order to engage in reasoning. the process is a means to an end. the true fulfillment of reason as a faculty is found when it can embrace the truth simply and without labor in the light of single intuition.

... if you insist that the inference is made by a chain of reasoning, i desire you to produce that reasoning. the connection between the two is not intuitive. there is required a medium, which may enable the mind to draw such an inference, if indeed it be drawn by reasoning and argument. what that medium is, i must confess, passes my comprehension; and it is incumbent on those to produce it, who assert that it really exists, and is the origin of all our conclusions concerning matter of fact.

If a dog is biting a black man, the black man should kill the dog, whether the dog is a police dog or a hound dog or any kind of dog. if a dog is fixed on a black man when that black man is doing nothing but trying to take advantage of what the government says is supposed to be his, then that black man should kill that dog or any two-legged dog who sets the dog on him.
