Today’s featured entry from the Vatican Observatory Faith and Science pages:
“Magisterium Is Concerned with Question of Evolution for It Involves Conception of Man – St. John Paul II” (CLICK HERE for it)
Pope John Paul II in an October 22, 1996 address to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences discusses evolution and why the broader church has particular interest in that area of scientific investigation.
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.
