Papal astronomers promote harmony of science, faith [View all]
The pope's own astronomers are using the immensity of the heavens to draw people on earth closer together.
And they are using their love of the cosmos and Christ to demonstrate the church's longtime support of science.
To commemorate this year's International Year of Light, which celebrates the importance of light and its role in new technologies, Jesuit astronomers at the Vatican Observatory have launched a number of new initiatives aimed at increasing dialogue with Muslims, nonbelievers and Catholics, who may not know that their faith and science are not at odds.
