Do you know when the paragraph about the two wings of a bird was put into the Catechism ppm?
First you need to be specific as to what you mean, as no such wording exist in the Catechism
But I think I know exactly what you mean
The paragraph about the two wings of a bird emphasizes the importance of faith and reason working together in harmony, reflecting the teachings of the Catholic Church. which can be found in the Catechism paragraph 159, particularly in the context of the sections emphasizing the importance of reason and faith complementing each other.
Along with this concept of faith and reason working together can be traced back to various biblical passages, such as Proverbs 3:5-6 which encourages trust in the Lord with all your heart and leaning not on your own understanding.
Historically, Church Fathers, such as St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, emphasized the compatibility of faith and reason. St. Augustine, for example, stated that faith seeks understanding, highlighting the relationship between the two, even more so with Aquinas, taught that faith and reason are compatible and complementary ways of attaining knowledge. He argued that faith and reason work together, with faith guiding reason towards truths that surpass natural human understanding. Aquinas believed that reason could provide evidence for the existence of God and support the truths of faith. He saw faith as a gift from God that elevates and perfects human reason, enabling a deeper understanding of the mysteries of the faith.

The popes, including Pope John Paul II in his encyclical 'Fides et Ratio,' have reiterated the importance of the unity of faith and reason. They have highlighted that both are gifts from God and should not be seen as conflicting, but rather as mutually enriching.
working together can be traced back to as I said above to various biblical passages like, Isaiah 1:18, where it says, "Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD
The first Catechism of the Catholic Church, known as the Catechism of the Council of Trent, was published in 1566 under the authority of Pope Pius V. While this particular catechism focused more on summarizing the teachings of the Catholic faith, later catechisms, including the current Catechism of the Catholic Church promulgated by Pope John Paul II in 1992, indeed uphold the importance of faith and reason working together, emphasizes the complementary relationship between faith and reason, likening them to the two wings that enable the human spirit to rise to the knowledge of the truth.
