Asymmetric Religion and Philosophy

Can Fox report something about the Vatican and science without mentioning Galileo in the first sentence or Giordano Bruno, who was not burned at the stake for being a scientist, in the middle of the report. Really, the article needs two anti-Catholic references?

Why didn't they say that the search for extraterrestrial life follows the great history of the Catholic Church in encouraging science in general and particular scientists like Galileo; Copernicus; Mendel; and Georges Henri Joseph Édouard Lemaître, who first proposed the Big Bang theory or Nicholas Steno, one of the pioneers of archaeology?

How about mentioning that 5% of the greatest mathematicians in history were Jesuit priests?

Too much to ask?
