Tres científicos jesuitas que cambiaron el mundo

In brief

The history of the Society of Jesus challenges common narratives that suggest a constant tension between the Church and scientific research. While popular belief often claims the Church repressed investigation, the history of the Jesuit order suggests a more complex relationship that contradicts anti-scientific stereotypes.

Daniel Esparza reports for Aleteia that the Society of Jesus, founded in 1540, provides a perspective that disputes the idea that science and religion have always been in conflict.
