"I can think of no worse authority on science than the Catholic Church." Which shows you know nothing about either the history of science or the Catholic Church. The whole "Western" perspective of science is a direct result of the Catholic Church's promotion of an "ordered" universe understandable by human reason.

Actually, I know a great deal about both the history of the Catholic Church specifically and Christianity in general as well as about the history of science. The history of science is one of my favorite topics.
And on balance the Catholic Church has been historically and continues to be TODAY a great impediment to science. I would be happy to debate that point with you on another thread at a later date.
