With his trademark clarity, Pope Benedict XVI addressed the mystery of man's human nature to a gathering of scientists today, directing their eyes to the richness and complexity of the human person, who cannot be defined by science alone. Some key lines from his remarks:
"'Man,' said the Pope is 'characterized by his otherness. He is a being created by God, a being in the image of God, a being who is loved and is made to love. As a human he is never closed within himself. He is always a bearer of otherness and, from his origins, is in interaction with other human beings.'"
