Justify that faith and reason can be reconciled in the search for truth?

For a full defence of Reason as the servant of Faith you need to refer to Thomas Aquinas.
But a simple justification may be derived from the saying attributed to St. Thomas More that God created the Animals to worship Him in their Innocence; the Angels to worship Him in their Glory; and Man to worship Him in his Wisdom.
Following St. Thomas More's reasoning we see that since God granted Man a difference from the Animals in that Man alone has Reason, it would be unreasonable for God to deny Man recourse to Reason in his glorification of God.
The point is not subtle, but it has escaped sectarians for centuries.
