What sort of "progress" can come out of letting them get away with positions against homosexuality, birth control, and stem cell research? and what about the *huge* amount of wealth that the church has, as you linked in the post? such hypocrisy! there’s so much hypocrisy and narrow-mindedness in religion, they really bring on the hostility themselves.

Seems to me that the evolution/creation debate looms large over the current interaction of science and religion, and some people on both sides tend to react with a spiteful, wide-reaching hostility. It's a foolish trope that limits understanding and progress—and is boring on top of that. Thanks, John.

I'm not religious, but it's still VERY refreshing to finally see a write-up of this story that didn't spend the whole time making fun of the Catholic church. These days, I feel like making fun of religion is BO-RING. Nice job, Discover.
