The American Astronomical Society has honored retired Vatican Observatory director, Jesuit Fr George V. Coyne, for his work in building aVatican-sponsored summer school for young astronomers and promotingdiscussions on the intersection of religion and science.
I hope Fr. Coyne just used an unfortunate phrase and he doesn’t really believe this …
“Our (observatory) staff is very peculiar in the sense that we’re professional astronomers number one, but we’re also Jesuits trained in philosophy and theology.”
