Fr Richard D’Souza SJ, the new Director of the Vatican Observatory, has listed three emerging scientific fields that Catholics should pay close attention to.
Speaking in an interview with Indian Catholic Matters, the Jesuit priest—appointed last week by Pope Leo—reflected on his Indian background, vocation to the Society of Jesus, and what led him to become an astronomer.
When asked which scientific fields the Church needs to engage with more actively, Fr D’Souza named three: advancements in protein structure (through artificial intelligence), climate change, and artificial intelligence itself.
