What is your answer?
Aquinas thinks that faith and reason overlap in their moral conclusions, since both teach many of the same norms (e.g., the golden rule and the wrongness of stealing). Aquinas thinks this redundancy is helpful, since
{ 1 } - faith can help to clarify the norms of reason and purify our motivation.
{ 2 } - faith can move us further toward our supernatural destiny of eternal happiness with God.
{ 3 } - those who lack the time or ability to think out moral issues rationally are still able to follow Biblical norms.
{ 4 } - All of the above.

Aquinas believes in a harmony between faith and reason. If approached correctly, there should be no conflict between the two. While reason gives us some basic truths about God and morality, divine revelation builds on these and provides other truths that exceed the powers of reason.
