Excerpt from Catholic Science and Catholic Scientists
This volume is-composed of articles, revised and augmented, which originally appeared, the first two in the Ave Maria, the last two in the American Cal/zo/z'c Quarterly srez/iew. They are republished in book form in response to numerous requests from patrons of the Catholic Summer School, from members of various Reading Circles, and from distinguished representatives of the hie rarchy. The object of the book, as will appear from its perusal, is to exhibit in a brief compass the relation of the Church to science, and to show that, in the words of Cardinal Newman, Relig ious truth is not only a portion but a condition of knowledge; that there is not, and cannot be, a con?ict between real science and true religion.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed analysis of the fraught historical relationship between science and the Catholic Church, specifically how different scientific advancements have been met with challenges and acceptance by the church. The author contests several long-held beliefs about the Church's alleged opposition to science, presenting historical evidence to demonstrate that the Church has, in fact, been a great supporter of science throughout history. The book delves into many of the great theological questions that science has raised over the years, including the existence of evolution and the age of the earth, providing in depth and accessible explanations of the Church's stances on each. It carefully examines the evolution of Catholic teaching on scientific matters and explores the reasons behind any changes that have been made over time. A valuable resource for those interested in the often-misunderstood intersection of religion and science.
