Curious to know how the Vatican comes into this. Not much of science pays any attention to that regressive medieval institution.

Curious to know how the Vatican comes into this. Not much of science pays any attention to that regressive medieval institution.
- jonmrodriguez 8y agoThe Vatican these days is no longer regressive, at least on scientific issues. Here is a letter from the Pope in 2015 urging action on climate change: http://w2.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/encyclicals/documents/papa-francesco_20150524_enciclica-laudato-si.html http://w2.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/encyclicals/docume... Here is a video produced by the Vatican along with the letter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXA5_juFgDg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXA5_juFgDg The Big Bang theory of the origin of the universe was invented by a Catholic priest. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georges_Lema%C3%AEtre https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georges_Lema%C3%AEtre I've also spoken with a retired Bishop who mentioned that in his personal view, it is possible that a multiverse with more than one universe could exist. All in all, Catholic leadership today is impressively open-minded.
