This is a Faith and Science resource book for the Archdiocese of Louisville, Kentucky (but certainly useful to others), with foreword by Vatican Observatory Director Br. Guy Consolmagno, S.J. 

Science is central to modern life. Science also has an impact on people’s beliefs. Surveys of Catholic Christians who have left the faith, including young people, show that many cite “science”, or perceived conflict between Christianity and science (or between religion in general and science), as a significant factor in their leaving. This booklet probes the story of the Catholic Church and science with reflections and commentary from those within the Archdiocese of Louisville. It is designed for priests, educators, and parents (including those who home school) who might encounter questions about the Church and science. It is intended to be accessible to anyone interested in this story. The story of the Church and science goes back a long way. It is still unfolding today. It is not the story most Catholics are familiar with. But it is a story Catholics should know, exactly because science is so central to modern life. 

Print copies of this book are offered at the cost of production only. All funds paid go to the printer (Lulu.com) for printing and shipping. Any difficulties must be addressed to Lulu.
