So says The Vatican.
What's this? An order from upon high for Roman Catholics to believe Science? Did you hear that Mrs Proctor?
Earlier this year she stated, "Just like with evolution, people of faith TEND to be inclined to disbelieve it and dismiss the 'science' that is used as evidence (although it's a theory)." And then in February she said, "I believe in the creationism movement and frankly think all Christians should unless science can PROVE otherwise, which (it) has not been able to do." Like any good hypocrite she will no doubt use science if it supports her beliefs and dismiss whatever she disagrees with.

Vatican: Faithful Should Listen to Science

VATICAN CITY -- A Vatican cardinal said Thursday the faithful should listen to what secular modern science has to offer, warning that religion risks turning into "fundamentalism" if it ignores scientific reason.
Cardinal Paul Poupard, who heads the Pontifical Council for Culture, made the comments at a news conference on a Vatican project to help end the "mutual prejudice" between religion and science that has long bedeviled the Roman Catholic Church and is part of the evolution debate in the United States.
The Vatican project was inspired by Pope John Paul II's 1992 declaration that the church's 17th-century denunciation of Galileo was an error resulting from "tragic mutual incomprehension." Galileo was condemned for supporting Nicolaus Copernicus' discovery that the Earth revolved around the sun; church teaching at the time placed Earth at the center of the universe."The permanent lesson that the Galileo case represents pushes us to keep alive the dialogue between the various disciplines, and in particular between theology and the natural sciences, if we want to prevent similar episodes from repeating themselves in the future," Poupard said.
By the way, we are still waiting for the results of Dumbgirl's investigation of Global Warming. I can't wait to find out what she has uncovered.
