Diz o texto do reverendo George Rutler:

The list of great Catholic scientists is as long as the years since modern science became conscious of itself, but my clerical perspective would focus on Catholic priests compelled by beauty to discover more about the ordering of things for, as Alexander Pope wrote, “Order is heaven’s first law.”   Everyone knows of Roger Bacon and Albert the Great. But Copernicus was a priest, too, and likewise the geneticist Mendel. Barsanti developed the internal combustion engine after Buridan theorized inertial motion. Clavius was a guide in designing the Gregorian calendar, Gassendi observed the transit of a planet across the sun. Picard was the first to calculate accurately the size of the earth, Steno founded modern geology as Mabillion did paleography and Valentin modern chemistry and Marenne acoustics. The first wireless transmission of the human voice was by Sarasa.  Kirche was the first to observe microbes by microscope and Jedlike invented the dynamo and electric motor. Thirty-five craters on our moon are named for priests who contributed to natural science.

Uma boa introdução sobre assunto pode ser visto no Youtube. É um programa chamado A Igreja Católica: Construtora da Civilização - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6bnO7N1AMU. São vários episódios mostrados por Thomas Woods.

O Thomas Woods tem um livro sobre isso, o título é algo como Como a Igreja construiu a civilização.

Pedro Erik Carneiro disse...

É verdade, grande Marcelo. Mas não li, usei foi o livro de James Hannam que cito nas minhas recomendações para colocar os nomes. Mais ou menos sobre o assunto está na fila outro livro sobre Inquisição de Edward Peters (chama Inquisition) e ainda tem outro sobre a Escola de Salamanca (School of Salamanca) em que a autora defende que foram padres que criaram a ciência econômica. Ela tem razão, Schumpeter e Hayek concordam com ela. Mas ainda nem comprei este último.

Pedro, só vc com tamanha dedicação. Através da postagem http://thyselfolord.blogspot.com.br/2015/08/livro-cristianismo-cresce-na-china.html cheguei a este post. Há muito tempo eu já havia pensado em fazer algo assim em meu blog. Agora sei a que fonte posso orientar meus filhos a fazer uma pesquisa sobre o tema.

Obrigado, Adilson. O melhor seria colocar em ordem, com pequena explicação mas não tenho tempo ainda.
Abraço
Pedro
