Excerpt from Catholic Science and Catholic Scientists This volume is-composed of articles, revised and augmented, which originally appeared, the first two in the Ave Maria, the last two in the American Cal/zo/z'c Quarterly srez/iew. They are republished in book form in response to numerous requests from patrons of the Catholic Summer School, from members of various Reading Circles, and from distinguished representatives of the hie rarchy. The object of the book, as will appear from its perusal, is to exhibit in a brief compass the relation of the Church to science, and to show that, in the words of Cardinal Newman, Relig ious truth is not only a portion but a condition of knowledge; that there is not, and cannot be, a conflict between real science and true religion.

Excerpt from A Catholic Priest and Scientists Under the following circumstances I introduce this book, entitled "A Catholic Priest and Scientists," to the public. During the winter of 1878, while residing in Milwaukee, I was informed that scientists expressed a desire to hold a discussion with me on the eternal being of matter, the non-existence of God and revealed religion. Under the impulse of the moment I assented; but after having consulted Archbishop Henni, now deceased, declined from a conviction that with men who rejected the authority of divine revelation it would be folly to argue. The challenging party then concluded "that I feared to meet them in open debate, owing to the inherent truth of their systems which would clearly establish the eternal being of matter, disprove the existence of a First Cause, the Blessed Trinity, and Christianity, which were purely mythical." Although I was aware of the force of the adage Noli contendere verbis, ad nihil enim utile est, and although I was aware of the fact that it is folly to argue with atheists on things ineffable which surpass human thought, yet, lest my unwillingness to meet these men might promote error and injure the cause of truth, I consented, on condition that two reporters would be admitted; but this they declined on the plea that, until some future time, "they did not wish to give their arguments publicity."

Excerpt from What Catholics Have Done for Science: With Sketches of the Great Catholic Scientists The purpose of this little book is, by showing their utter-falsity, to refute two wide-spread notions. One of these notions is, that when a man devotes himself to science he must necessarily cease to be a Christian; and the other, that the Catholic Church is hostile to scientific progress.

Excerpt from Twelve Catholic Men of Science The object of these biographies is to demonstrate the fact, unknown apparently to many critics of the Church, that there are numerous stars of science (and many more than this series includes) who were also devout Catholics, and found no difficulty in maintaining both positions simultaneously. It ought to be superfluous to maintain such a thesis, and it would be so if persons who propagate such accusations as are made against the Catholic Church would, first of all, investigate the facts of the case. But, as the statement has been made, it may be well to give some definite examples of the co existence in the same individual of scientific enthusiasm and reputation -with a steadfast attachment to the doctrines of the Catholic Church.

Excerpt from The Church and Science On the other hand, no attempt has been made to minim ise the teachings of the Church, nor is it denied that there are points where her teaching and the theories of certain men of science come into direct conflict. But a further object of the book is to make it clear that these are theories, at present unproved and perhaps insusceptible of convine ing poof that scores and scores of such theories have been put forward and will continue to be put forward; that scores and scores of them have been thrown on the scrap heap of abandoned ideas, whither others will follow them and that the believer in Christianity may possess his soul in patience, well aware that no theory which is really in opposition to revelation can be true.

Excerpt from Science and the Gospel, or the Church and the Nations: A Series of Essays on Great Catholic Questions But although surely illusive enough in that first stage of its existence, it has nevertheless continued from time to time to reappear, and promises as little as ever to disappear finally with its disturbing influence from before the mental vision of mankind. Men have hitherto sought the embodiment of it vainly as Arthur's Knights of the Round Table pursued their quest for the Holy Graal; yet a vision of the sacred cup was vouch safed to Sir Galahad: and so purer and more elevated spirits of more than one section of the Church have had an intuition of the Church Catholic, so as to realize its existence and feel that it is something more than an idea - nay, as a spiritual fact waiting for its revelation.
