Catholics Made a Monkey Out of Me

Following up on an earlier post about the sad delusions and sophistry of the Kansas Board of Education, I note with approval that the Vatican has urged Catholics to listen to modern science, lest they turn into "fundamentalists."

I'm certainly no big fan of the Roman Catholic church (full disclosure: I am an Episcopalian), but this is a worthy statement and deserves recognition.

You know there's a problem when the catholic Church is more progressive in it's thinking than you (or your President) is.

Full disclosure: Catholic upbringing, agnostic lifestyle.

Yeah, that's pretty scary. At the very least, it was encouraging to see the Church recognize a division between theology and science and call them separate disciplines.

Where's the Left of the Dial podcast???

Sorry Dave - been busy, I'm going to Chicago tomorrow for a week of Pharma business meetings. I'll get on it when I get back - if Chris hasn't taken care of it by then.
