A Catholic monk was also the grandfather of modern genetics (Gregor Mendl), and his work has been used by many scientists since to help make a case for evolution.
A rare irony is that after Mendl published his work on inheritance, it was criticized, ridiculed and/or ignored by the science community for the next 35 years.
Religion isn't necessarily opposed to scientific discovery like some people believe.
