Synopsis

Popes and Science: The History of the Papal Relations to Science During the Middle Ages and Down to Our Own Time is a comprehensive book by James J. Walsh that explores the relationship between the Catholic Church and science. The book covers the period from the Middle Ages to the present day, tracing the evolution of the Church's attitude towards scientific inquiry and discovery. The book delves into the lives and contributions of various popes, from Pope Sylvester II, who was known for his interest in mathematics and astronomy, to Pope Francis, who has spoken out on issues such as climate change and the importance of science in society. Walsh also examines the role of the Church in supporting scientific research, including the establishment of universities and scientific institutions. In addition to discussing the positive aspects of the Church's relationship with science, the book also addresses some of the controversies and conflicts that have arisen over the centuries. This includes the trial of Galileo, which is often cited as an example of the Church's opposition to scientific progress. Overall, Popes and Science provides a detailed and balanced account of the complex relationship between the Catholic Church and science throughout history. It is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of science, religion, and their intersection.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1911 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

St. Alphonsus writes: “a single bad book will be sufficient to cause the destruction of a monastery.” Pope Pius XII wrote in 1947 at the beatification of Blessed Maria Goretti: “There rises to Our lips the cry of the Saviour: 'Woe to the world because of scandals!' (Matthew 18:7).  Woe to those who consciously and deliberately spread corruption-in novels, newspapers, magazines, theaters, films, in a world of immodesty!” We at St. Pius X Press are calling for a crusade of good books. We want to restore 1,000 old Catholic books to the market. We ask for your assistance and prayers. This book is a photographic reprint of the original. The original has been inspected and some imperfections may remain. At Saint Pius X Press our goal is to remain faithful to the original in both photographic reproductions and in textual reproductions that are reprinted. Photographic reproductions are given a page by page inspection, whereas textual reproductions are proofread to correct any errors in reproduction.
