🗣 LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!!!
❝ Too many in our world refuse to acknowledge what both science and the Church plainly teach,” he said, “that we bear a solemn responsibility for the stewardship of our planet and for the welfare of those who dwell upon it, especially the most vulnerable, whose lives are imperilled by the reckless exploitation of both people and the natural world.” ❞
@blogdiva The Catholic Church, since the 18th century, is much pro Science. Jesuits, like the former Pope Francis, believe that science and rationality are important for Humanity. The Vatican conciliates modern theories of Physics/Biology with the Scriptures. Is very difficult to find a young priest that don't believe in dinosaurs and I never meet a catholic craving for a nuclear war to be raptured!
@rcosta @blogdiva After 18th century ? I didn't know that. I do remember the so called Galileo affair which was indeed before that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo_Galilei#Later_Church_reassessments
@regendans @rcosta @blogdiva they did come back from that…the modern incarnation of the Vatican Observatory is Jesuit-run https://www.vaticanobservatory.org/sacred-space-astronomy/jesuits-and-the-vatican-observatory/
(there is a historian of science on here who will tear you a new one about the nuances of the Galileo affair but, for your sake, I am not paging him lol)
