About This Book

A collection of concise biographical sketches of Catholic ecclesiastics who made notable contributions across scientific fields, presenting their investigations, methods, and achievements. An opening essay examines the presumed conflict between science and religion, and subsequent portraits describe work in astronomy, chemistry, medicine, natural history, crystallography, and heredity. The sketches emphasize the compatibility of devout belief with original scientific inquiry, outline the institutional and social contexts that shaped these careers, and distinguish opposition arising from professional or popular resistance from doctrinal intervention.
