The Pope and the Physicist

Both St. John Paul II and Danish physicist Niels Bohr, an atheist, used a phrase, “Different human cultures are complementary.” It’s too specific and unique for the pope’s repetition to have been happenstance. JP2 reached a hand across time and space to lift the physicist’s ideas out of scientism and into the fuller truth about the human person made in the image and likeness of God. [1]
