est georges lemaître astronomer and professor of physics at the catholic university of leuven with a ph d from mit lemaître was the first to argue that the recession of galaxies is evidence of an expanding universe and to connect the observational hubble lemaître law 181 with the solution to the einstein field equations in the general theory of relativity for a homogenous and isotropic universe 182 183 184 that work led lemaître to propose what he called the hypothesis of the primeval atom now regarded as the first formulation of the big bang theory of the origin of the universe 185 186 lemaître viewed his work as a scientist as neither supporting nor contradicting the truths of faith 187 and he was strongly opposed to making any arguments that mixed science with religion 188 an effort sometimes referred to as concordism although he held that the two were not in conflict 189 in a 1933 new york times article he asserted there is no conflict between religion and science to reconcile he was always anxious that his work on cosmology should be judged on purely scientific criteria 190 lemaître s concern that interactions between religion and science could hinder scientific acceptance as well as leave faith vulnerable to future shifts in scientific theory led historian of science dominique lambert to single him out as perhaps modern catholicism s most prominent discordist and leading intellectual opponent of concordism 191 lemaître was reportedly horrified when in 1951 pope pius xii gave an address to the pontifical academy of sciences with lemaître in the audience in which he drew a parallel between the new big bang cosmology and the christian doctrine of creatio ex nihilo lemaître appealed directly to the pope to avoid making any further public statements on religious or philosophical interpretations of matters concerning physical cosmology 192 modern book of nature edit philosophy i e natural philosophy is written in this grand book i mean the universe which stands continually open to our gaze galileo galilei the assayer 1623 193 science and salvation edit see also salvation in christianity catholicism the holy bible and the phenomena of nature proceed alike from the divine word the former as the dictate of the holy ghost and the latter as the observant executrix of god s commands galileo galilei 1623 194 we cannot but deplore certain habits of mind which are sometimes found too among christians which do not sufficiently attend to the rightful independence of science and which from the arguments and controversies they spark lead many minds to conclude that faith and science are mutually opposed pope paul vi 1965 195 the new science with its methods and the freedom of research which they implied obliged theologians to examine their own criteria of scriptural interpretation galileo a sincere believer showed himself to be more perceptive in this regard than the theologians who opposed him pope john paul ii 1992 196 timeline galileo and the church 1633 galileo sentenced to house arrest 197 1642 plans for galileo to be buried in the main body of the basilica of santa croce next to the tombs of the ruling family of tuscany are abandoned when pope urban viii objects 198 199 200 1718 the inquisition lifts the ban on reprinting galileo s works excluding the condemned dialogue 201 1741 pope benedict xiv authorizes the publication of galileo s complete scientific works 202 including a mildly censored version of the dialogue 203 f 1758 the general prohibition against works advocating heliocentrism is removed from the index librorum prohibitorum though the specific ban on uncensored versions of the dialogue and copernicus s de revolutionibus remains 205 1835 all official opposition to heliocentrism by the church effectively ends as these works are finally dropped from the index g 1939 in his first speech to the pontifical academy of sciences pope pius xii describes galileo as being among the most audacious heroes of research 206 1979 pope john paul ii orders a formal re examination of the evidence against galileo by the pontifical council for culture 207 208 1992 pope john paul ii expresses formal regret for how the galileo affair was handled and acknowledges errors committed by the church tribunal 196 2008 the vatican proposes to complete the rehabilitation of galileo by announcing plans to erect a statue of him inside the vatican walls 209 in the early 17th century galileo lost two different arguments with the church his first argument about natural philosophy was whether the earth moves by 1835 however galileo had effectively won that argument when the church removed all works related to heliocentrism from the index librorum prohibitorum g galileo s second argument and arguably his more direct provocation to 17th century theologians and the one that more directly led to his arrest was about the correct way of interpreting scripture which he discussed at length in his 1613 letter to benedetto castelli and in his 1615 letter to the grand duchess christina by 1893 however he had won that argument as well in 1893 pope leo xiii issued the encyclical providentissimus deus on the study of holy scripture which adopted the exact approach to interpreting scripture that galileo had advocated for nearly three centuries earlier although the encyclical was prompted by 19th century developments in evolution and geology its discussion of figurative language and the common manner of speech essentially reproduced galileo s logic 104 and codified galileo s argument that the bible s authority is limited to human salvation and does not extend to nature no real disagreement can exist between the theologian and the scientist provided each keeps within his own limits if nevertheless there is a disagreement it should be remembered that the sacred writers or more truly the spirit of god who spoke through them did not wish to teach men such truths as the inner structure of visible objects which do not help anyone to salvation and that for this reason rather than trying to provide a scientific exposition of nature they sometimes describe and treat these matters either in a somewhat figurative language or as the common manner of speech those times required and indeed still requires nowadays in everyday life even amongst most learned people 210 the galilean principle that science and theology occupy different spheres the holy ghost intended to teach us how to go to heaven not how the heavens go is now a part of catholic doctrine the catechism of the catholic church reinforces this view of science by asserting that scientific investigation of the secrets of nature is not a threat to faith but instead an undertaking that provided it does not override moral laws is led by the hand of god methodical research in all branches of knowledge provided it is carried out in a truly scientific manner and does not override moral laws can never conflict with the faith because the things of the world and the things of faith derive from the same god the humble and persevering investigator of the secrets of nature is being led as it were by the hand of god despite himself for it is god the conserver of all things who made them what they are 211 in 1992 pope john paul ii wrote that galileo was more perceptive about scriptural interpretation than the theologians who opposed him 196 evolution edit main article evolution and the catholic church further information humani generis evolution the science historian john hedley brooke observes that the 17th century metaphysics of devout scientists like galileo and kepler and their immediate successors which saw nature s immutability as a reflection of a similarly perfect and changless creator 73 was a poor fit for the science of evolution 212 the catholic church holds no official position on the theory of creation or evolution leaving the specifics of either theistic evolution or literal creationism to the individual within certain parameters established by the church according to the catechism of the catholic church any believer may accept either literal or special creation within the period of an actual six day twenty four hour period or they may accept the belief that the earth evolved over time under the guidance of god catholicism holds that god initiated and continued the process of his creation that adam and eve were real people 213 214 and that all humans whether specially created or evolved have and have always had specially created souls for each individual 215 216 217 notwithstanding this cautious stance however pope john paul ii wrote in 1996 that evolution is more than a hypothesis pope john paul ii told the pontifical academy of sciences in 1996 that since pius xii s encyclical new findings lead us toward the recognition of evolution as more than a hypothesis 218 in his encyclical humani generis 1950 my predecessor pius xii has already affirmed that there is no conflict between evolution and the doctrine of the faith regarding man and his vocation provided that we do not lose sight of certain fixed points today more than a half century after the appearance of that encyclical some new findings lead us toward the recognition of evolution as more than a hypothesis in fact it is remarkable that this theory has had progressively greater influence on the spirit of researchers following a series of discoveries in different scholarly disciplines the convergence in the results of these independent studies which was neither planned nor sought constitutes in itself a significant argument in favor of the theory 219 pontifical academy of sciences edit pontifical academy of sciences pontificia accademia delle scienze type catholic research institute pontifical university established 1936 90 years ago 1936 chancellor peter turkson president joachim von braun 220 website pas va main article pontifical academy of sciences the pontifical academy of sciences was founded in 1936 by pope pius xi it draws on many of the world s leading scientists including many nobel laureates to act as advisors to the popes on scientific issues the academy has an international membership which includes british physicist stephen hawking the astronomer royal martin rees and nobel laureates such as u s physicist charles hard townes 221 under the protection of the reigning pope the academy aims to promote the progress of the mathematical physical and natural sciences and the study of related epistemological problems the academy has its origins in the accademia pontificia dei nuovi lincei pontifical academy of the new lynxes founded in 1847 and intended as a more closely supervised successor to the accademia dei lincei academy of lynxes established in rome in 1603 by the learned roman prince federico cesi 1585 1630 who was a young botanist and naturalist and which claimed galileo galilei as a member in 2012 pope benedict xvi addressed members of the academy on the relationship between religion and science dialogue and cooperation between faith and science are urgently needed for building a culture that respects people and the planet without faith and science informing each other the great questions of humanity leave the domain of reason and truth and are abandoned to the irrational to myth or to indifference with great damage to humanity itself to world peace and to our ultimate destiny as people strive to unlock the mysteries of man and the universe i am convinced of the urgent need for continued dialogue and cooperation between the worlds of science and of faith in building a culture of respect for man for human dignity and freedom for the future of our human family and for the long term sustainable development of our planet 222 fides et ratio faith and reason edit main article fides et ratio in the papal encyclical fides et ratio issued in 1998 pope john paul ii wrote of his hope that the ever greater knowledge produced by science would always be accompanied by wisdom i cannot fail to address a word to scientists whose research offers an ever greater knowledge of the universe as a whole and of the incredibly rich array of its component parts animate and inanimate with their complex atomic and molecular structures so far has science come especially in this century that its achievements never cease to amaze us in expressing my admiration and in offering encouragement to these brave pioneers of scientific research to whom humanity owes so much of its current development i would urge them to continue their efforts without ever abandoning the sapiential horizon within which scientific and technological achievements are wedded to the philosophical and ethical values which are the distinctive and indelible mark of the human person 223 see also edit list of catholic clergy scientists list of catholic scientists science and the popes christianity and

copernicus was indeed concerned about possible objections from theologians while lindberg and numbers 50 argue against it koestler 51 also denies it indirect evidence that copernicus was concerned about objections from theologians comes from a letter written to him by andreas osiander in 1541 in which osiander advises copernicus to adopt a proposal by which he says you will be able to appease the peripatetics and theologians whose opposition you fear perhaps as an attempt to preempt criticism copernicus dedicated de revolutionibus to pope paul iii 52 the international standard for the
