Ask a Catholic audience whose name they associate with the Catholic Church and science. Galileo! they shout. Ask them about Lemaître, Grimaldi, Stensen, Secchior Piazziand you get blank stares. Is it any wonder the science-religion warfare myth persists?
Or ask them about the priest Giordano Bruno, burned to death by the church for, among other things, postulating the universe as we know it today.
