In my continuing thoughts about why people leave All liturgical ministers, please arrive 15 minutes before the Church is the growing phenomenon of Scientism. MIT mass begins to meet in the sacristy for prayer. physicist Ian Hutchinson offers a definition of scientism: Saturday, February 2, 2019 4:30 PM “Science, modeled on the natural sciences, is the only source of real knowledge.” Blessing of Throats The niece of a friend of mine recently declared that Lectors: C Kirst she no longer believes in God. When asked why she said, Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion: “Science offers answers to the questions that I have.” In N Kirst, A Kirst study after study, people who leave the Church say that Altar Servers: S Axe science has disproved all religious claims. Hospitality Ministers: 2 Roberts Many people were taught in one or more education- al institutions that religion and science are opposed to each Sacristan: T Sorgaard other because science only arose as a discipline after a Music: Guitar Group cataclysmic struggle between the Church and figures such as Galileo. Lead figures during the Enlightenment period (18th Sunday, February 3, 2019 9:30 AM century) seem to be the first people who claimed this. The Blessing of Throats only thing is, it’s just not true. The Catholic Church started the university system Lectors: D Braatz because we believe that truth ultimately goes back to God, Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion: and so discovering the truth about reality is another way of K Paschall, R Woodall, J & J Redetzke, (______) coming to know something about God. The people who Altar Servers: R Sherlock, K White made scientific discoveries in the early days were also men Hospitality Ministers: S Sherlock, M Pelino, of faith, including Galileo. They saw no competition R Pelino between their faith and the work that they were doing. Incidentally, what got Galileo into trouble were not his Sacristan: R White discoveries about the solar system. It was his suggestion that Music: Choir a piece of scripture should not be interpreted as it was in the past due to his new discovery. Very often, people who claim that science and the Catholic Church cannot exist together know very little about either: they don’t know what the Church says about the relationship between science and faith and they also don’t January 28, 2019 – February 3, 2019 know the history of scientific discovery and about the men Tuesday– 8:15am VDick & VJosephine Wittwer who made those discoveries. Also, they seem to be unaware Wednesday– 6:00 pm Priest Intention that a Catholic priest (Georges Lemaître) was the physicist Thursday– 8:15am Priest Intention that formulated the theory of the “Big Bang” or that a Friday– 8:15am Priest Intention Catholic Abbot (Gregor Mendel) is considered to be the Saturday– 4:30pm Priest Intention founder of the science of genetics. Sunday– 9:30am VMaggie DeLuca Some people today want “proof of God’s St. Joseph Mission 12:30pm For The Parish existence.” Think about that. If God created the universe, 555555555555555555555555 that means he is not part of the universe. So, any experiment done in the universe can say nothing about the existence of With Him All Things Are Possible something beyond the universe. We continue to keep in our prayer list– Buck Klugh, Human beings are curious about many things. Some Frank Maestas, Courtney Brandon, Mary Brandon, of those things can be addressed through science. But, some of them cannot. For instance, most human beings have a Mary T. Meurs, Cathy Rowe, Trish Young, Cal Anderson, desire for meaning in their lives. There are no equations and Darlene Savoren, George Janik, Ben Deslaurier, The no experiments that address this issue.

Bob Brands, Brenden Tronick and all of our home bound The principals of science won’t help you in being a good and those in nursing homes. person. To say that science answers all questions is to be ignorant of the different facets of human curiosity. Fr.
