Conference Quote: Fr. Joseph Jianmin Bai on Faith and Reason

Have you read the Call for Submissions for the upcoming 30th USCCA International Conference? The conference will be held at the University of St. Thomas in Houston, Texas, on July 31–August 2, 2026.

As Fr. Joseph Jianmin Bai remarked at our 29th conference (held in August 2024), faith and reason are complementary in the search for truth:

In the mystery of the Incarnation, the Word of God does not replace or diminish human reason. He is fully God and, at the same time, a fully human being. Rather, he retains, confirms, and heals our reason.

Through dialogue and growth in mutual understanding, we pray that the USCCA's International Conferences continue to provide avenues for faith and reason to build each other up. We invite you to subscribe to the US-China Catholic Association's YouTube channel and email newsletter for more conference quotes.


We hope to see you at the upcoming 30th International Conference; even if you cannot participate directly, we ask that you please consider how you might contribute to our mission by way of our Annual Appeal. Thank you!
