Not just through theology but also
science and philosophy. This list takes a look at ten
priests who made significant discoveries or in other ways
changed the way we think, the way we live, or the way
we believe. Ranking these religious men is very difficult
and it is impossible to place one above the
other. This is by no means to be considered a “top 10″
list as there are certainly many more equally great
religious from history to choose from.

1) FATHER GREGOR MENDEL:A pioneer in the field of genetics. He produced hybrid bees that where so ferocious they had to be destroyed. Even though an ordained catholic priest, the catholic church never fully supported his work in fact after his death his science papers were burnt by his abbot. His last words were: MY TIME WILL COME

2) FATHER GEORGES LEMAITRE : This jesuit priest prove to us that religeon and science can go together. He is the father of the BIG BANG THEORY, and the propounder of HUBBLES LAW after reading his paper einstein remarked: your calculations are good but your physics is abominable

4) NICHOLAS COPERNICUS : There is some doubt as to whether Copernicus
eventually became a priest as we only have evidence
that he took minor orders (the first stages of the
priesthood) but his fame, and the possibility that he was
ultimately ordained – make him a worthwhile addition.

He pointed the fact that the sun not the earth was the centre of solar system, he delayed publication of his book for fear of persecution for a guy who had no bachelors degree, lost his parents at 10 the father of modern astronomy deserves a mention here.

5) SAINT IGNATIUS OF LOYOLA: St Ignatius has an
entry here because he was the founder of the Jesuits
Since their founder, this order of educator priests have
been given credit for “the single most important
contributor to experimental physics in the seventeenth
century.” They also “contributed to the development of
pendulum clocks, pantographs, barometers, reflecting
telescopes and microscopes, to scientific fields as various
as magnetism, optics and electricity. They observed, in

I have asked this question and I will ask it again do the catholic belief Jesus is the child of Mary or Mary is the child of Jesus,if its the former,then its too bad.I also belief Mary is not as holy as to give birth to the one as Holy as the son of God,I would only tag her as the luckiest of women. angry sad
