The churches have always lead the way with science and it's discoveries. There was a time in human history when the church was the only advanced studies in the world. The Middle Ages when Popes and Priests were as powerful as kings.(click here)
...He lamented (click here) how easily well-founded scientific counsel is “disregarded” and how politics tends to obey technology and finance instead.
The proof of that, he said, is the way countries are still “distracted” or delayed in applying international agreements on the environment as well as the “continuous wars of dominance masquerading as noble declarations that cause increasingly serious harm to the environment and the moral and cultural wealth of peoples.”
Pope Francis told the scientists that it was up to them to “build a cultural model to tackle the crisis of climate change and its social consequences so that enormous productive capacities are not reserved only to the few.”
To do that, he said, the scientists would have to be free of political, economic and ideological interests, too.
Because scientists have been able to study and demonstrate many crises facing the planet, the Pope called on them to be leaders in proposing solutions to the many problems, such as water, energy and food security....
Science and the churches have been linked for millennia. The church believes in the intellect of the human mind and its brilliant discoveries. "The soul" is not an empty ghost to earn its status for heaven. "The soul" is a result of the good and decent work accumulated during life's journey. Sciences are not empty souls, they hold the human experience dearly to their professions.
...In medieval Europe, (click here) the church and the state were closely linked. It was the duty of every political authority -- king, queen, prince or city councilman -- to support, sustain and nurture the church. With notable exceptions, the church reinforced the political authority of the states, and the states reinforced the authority of the church. French churchman Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet tutored Louis XIV's son in the principles of royal absolutism: "God establishes kings as his ministers, and reigns through them over the people. ... [K]ings are sacred because of their office; they are the representatives of the divine majesty."...
The right wing of the USA hold God as an icon to power. God does not grant power, God grants grace.
The USA political right wing has a faux face. They are fictitious. If anyone wants to read real fiction I suggest, "A Canticle for Leibowitz." It is a post-apocalyptic fiction whereby Utah monks rebuild faith out of a fallout shelter.
What faith would arm children? The USA has fought against "child soldiers" since human rights became a priority. The political right wing is so warped it has leaders that only know greed and how to obtain it at any cost.
The USA political right wing are nothing more than greed merchants. They have no conscience.
