Popes and Science: The History of the Papal Relations to Science During the Middle Ages and Down to Our Own Time is a comprehensive book by James J. Walsh that explores the relationship between the Catholic Church and science. The book covers the period from the Middle Ages to the present day, tracing the evolution of the Church's attitude towards scientific inquiry and discovery. The book delves into the lives and contributions of various popes, from Pope Sylvester II, who was known for his interest in mathematics and astronomy, to Pope Francis, who has spoken out on issues such as climate change and the importance of science in society. Walsh also examines the role of the Church in supporting scientific research, including the establishment of universities and scientific institutions. In addition to discussing the positive aspects of the Church's relationship with science, the book also addresses some of the controversies and conflicts that have arisen over the centuries. This includes the trial of Galileo, which is often cited as an example of the Church's opposition to scientific progress. Overall, Popes and Science provides a detailed and balanced account of the complex relationship between the Catholic Church and science throughout history. It is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of science, religion, and their intersection.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1911 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
