More about the book
The book explores the historical relationship between the Church and science, challenging the notion of conflict. It highlights significant contributions from various Popes, such as Sylvester II's advancements in mathematics and Gregory XIII's establishment of the civil calendar. The author emphasizes the role of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences and the Vatican Observatory in ongoing scientific progress. Modern Popes, including Pius XII, John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Francis, are shown to foster a dialogue that integrates faith with scientific inquiry and human dignity.
