I am glad somebody posted this article. I found it very thought-provoking. Some background: The original paper by the Jesuit priest was discussed on HN a few months ago: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2421107 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2421107 (includes a link to the abstract of the article, in Italian) Here's the website of the Catholic open source advocacy group mentioned: http://www.eleutheros.org/en/ http://www.eleutheros.org/en/ One of its cofounders pops up in the comments at the Economist to defend accusations that the Catholic Church is jumping on a bandwagon ("if you can't beat em, join em" is the accusation).
