In other news, the Vatican has an observatory. Centuries of Popes spin in their graves.
The Vatican Observatory is actually a serious research institution, mainly doing planetary astronomy.
The last head of the Observatory weighed in on the creationism debate and stated that creationism is *not* science and should *not* be taught in science classes, and that evolution *should be* taught in science classes. No wishy/washy on either point.
Several years ago I recall an earlier Observatory head publishing a rebuttal(!) of a Cardinal's comments on creationism.
There are plenty of nuts in the religious communities but the Vatican Observatory is not part of the problem at all.
