Following the Science

Robert Royal writes in The Catholic Thing that many young people lose their faith because they believe science has disproved religion. He notes that this perception presents a major challenge for the Church.

Royal describes science as a value-free pursuit used to discover truths about matter, energy, and the space-time continuum. He suggests that while science is valuable within its specific domain, it should not be used to address matters outside of its scope. He mentions that both Phil Lawler and the late Blessed Fulton Sheen maintained interests in understanding quantum theory.
