@blogdiva @nev @regendans Didn't knew Juana Inés de la Cruz! Really a pitty that her and Antonio Vieira never met. True intellectual giants.

@regendans @blogdiva Yes and with Giordano Bruno. But they quickly adapted. Like it or not we have to recognize that the Catholic Church - today - is miles away from Evangelic scientific obscurantism. You have Vatican theologians with Phd in Astronomy that don't put aside the idea of Big-Bang and a Universe harboring many intelligent life forms. A little different from tv preachers that say dinosaurs fossils were inserted in rocks by the devil to foul humanity.

@blogdiva The Catholic Church, since the 18th century, is much pro Science. Jesuits, like the former Pope Francis, believe that science and rationality are important for Humanity. The Vatican conciliates modern theories of Physics/Biology with the Scriptures. Is very difficult to find a young priest that don't believe in dinosaurs and I never meet a catholic craving for a nuclear war to be raptured!

@fesshole Every time someone mentions Masonic rituals, I always remember this comical sketch. Never mess with the lodge master daughter!
