Far from being a Catholic (more Protestant) but strange how Catholics of all Christian denominations seem to be the most willing open to new ideas? Especially two of their most conservative leaders.
Pope Pius XII (On the Big Bang):
"it would seem that present-day science, with one sweep back across the centuries, has succeeded in bearing witness to the august instant of the primordial Fiat Lux [Let there be Light], when along with matter, there burst forth from nothing a sea of light and radiation, and the elements split and churned and formed into millions of galaxies"
Pope John Paul II (On Evolution):
"Today, almost half a century after the publication of [Pius XII's] Encyclical, fresh knowledge has led to the recognition that evolution is more than a hypothesis. It is indeed remarkable that this theory has been progressively accepted by researchers, following a series of discoveries in various fields of knowledge. The convergence, neither sought nor fabricated, of the results of work that was conducted independently is in itself a significant argument in favor of this theory."
Yes, you've just read quotes from two Popes favoring both Big Bang Theory and the Theory of Evolution.

Ummm... Pius basically said that what scientists call the Big Bang is just what 'let there be light' looks like to scientists who feel the need to explain it.
