is not he who errs, who are the others misunderstand ...
"I'm back in the University where I taught for many years as a professor. As a theme I had chosen the issue of the relationship between faith and reason. To introduce the audience to the current topic, I cited a Byzantine emperor's words Manuel II Palaeologus, who was referring to the Muslim Christian dialogue, the question of the relationship between religion and violence. This quotation, unfortunately, lent itself to misinterpretation. For my audience, it was clear that I did not want to make my own the words, and that their polemical content does not express my personal beliefs. I wanted to explain that not religion and violence, but religion and reason go together "
