After Cardinal Schonborn’s recent NY Times essay, Lawrence Krauss from Case Western Reserver University sent a letter to the Pope, on nehalf of himself and several Catholic colleagues, asking for clarification on the Church’s position on the theory of evolution, and thus on the relationship between the scientific method and the Catholic church. “The text of that letter is available on Krauss’ website”:http://genesis1.phys.cwru.edu/~krauss/papalletttxt.htm.
