From the Vatican Observatory Faith and Science Pages: Bellarmine – The Louvain Lectures

Today’s featured entry from the Vatican Observatory Faith and Science pages:

“Bellarmine – The Louvain Lectures” (CLICK HERE for it)

The Louvain Lectures, a short book published by the Vatican Observatory in 1984, was written by Ugo Baldini and Fr. George V. Coyne, S. J. (then Director of the Vatican Observatory). The book focuses on astronomy-related lectures given by St. Robert Bellarmine in 1570, when Bellarmine was not yet 30 years of age. It also includes Bellarmine’s handwritten version of his 1616 declaration to Galileo (CLICK HERE to continue).


The Faith and Science pages (F&S) are a unique resource on the web. The material in F&S is stuff that you will find nowhere else (or at least not without a lot of digging). Featured areas on F&S include “History of Church and Science”; “Church and Science Today”; “Science and Scripture”; “Science, Religion & Society”; “Life in the Universe”; “Cosmology”; and more. The level of the F&S material ranges from being accessible to all audiences, with even some material oriented toward young readers, up to material for university specialists.

The F&S pages, like this blog, are made possible by the Vatican Observatory Foundation (the Vatican Observatory’s US operation that operates the Vatican Advanced Technology Telescope, or VATT, in Arizona). CLICK HERE to support the F&S pages, this blog, and the operation of the VATT.
