EWTN News portal reports that over 130 scientists gathered at Mundelein Seminary near Chicago for the ninth annual Society of Catholic Scientists (SCS) conference, held June 5–7, 2026. The event featured presentations on topics ranging from 17th-century anatomist-turned-bishop St. Nicolas Steno, the “twin problem” in bioethics, artificial intelligence’s place in Aristotle’s “Great Chain of Being,” and Gödel’s Incompleteness Theorem as evidence of God’s infinite truth. Ignasi Rosell, a particle physicist, invoked the vision of John Henry Newman to defend “the unity of knowledge,” while attendees praised the conference as “joyful,” “refreshing,” and “genuinely interdisciplinary.” The article also notes that Pope Leo XIV recently warned that the “main threat common to religion and science is denial of objective truth.” What the article never questions—and what reveals the entire conciliar project’s bankruptcy—is whether this so-called “Society of Catholic Scientists” operates within the framework of the true Catholic faith or merely baptizes the modernist myth that unaided human reason, autonomous science, and the “unity of knowledge” can be harmonized with supernatural revelation without the absolute primacy of the Magisterium, the subordination of all sciences to theology, and the recognition that the post-conciliar structures themselves are the very engine of the rationalism and naturalism condemned by every Pope from Pius IX to Pius XII.
