Faith and Reason

Donald DeMarco writes a tribute to Pierre Maurice Marie Duhem, who exemplified 'scholarship wed to sanctity':
"In a most unusual tribute to Pierre Duhem, Francis Kelly has produced a biography in verse form of this faithful Catholic, physicist, mathematician, philosopher and historian that ends with the following words:
“Though he has gone, we feel his wraith
Inspiring us to trust our faith
And, with his courage, life to face
Now in our time and in our place.
And now it’s time to say amen
And end this story of Duhem.” "
