Summary "The Popes and Science" by James J. Walsh is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the intricate and often misunderstood relationship between Papal authorities and the development of science and medicine from the Middle Ages to the 19th century. Walsh strives to dismantle prevalent misconceptions about the Church's alleged opposition to scientific progress, particularly in medical education and practices. At the start of the book, the author introduces the pervasive belief that the Roman Catholic Church and the Popes were opposed to medical sciences, particularly dissection and anatomy. He recounts his own journey of investigating these claims, ultimately finding substantial evidence that contradicts this narrative. Walsh emphasizes the significant contributions of the Church to the establishment of medical schools and the encouragement of scientific inquiry during the Middle Ages, showcasing key figures and historical developments that highlight the Papal patronage of medicine and science, countering the long-held notion that the Church stifled scientific progress.
