The Catholic Church teaches that there is no conflict between true faith and true science, since truth is one and legitimate claims of truth cannot be in conflict. When there seems to be a conflict between faith and science, either our understanding of the faith is inaccurate, or our understanding of science is inaccurate, or both. In fact, in an age that is increasingly cynical about our capacity to know any truth through human reason, the Church vigorously defends the proper autonomy of reason and its capacity to discover truth.
