The Catholic Church redeems itself in science.
The Pontifical Academy of Sciences was founded in 1603 with the approval of Pope
Clement VIII by Prince Federico Cesi under the title “Linceorum Academia”. (Lynx – observer animal)
• In 1611, the word "telescope" was first used in public by Prince Federico Cesi at a banquet held by the pioneer scientific society, the Academy of Linceans (or Lynxes, of which he was a founder). It was held to Honor Galileo, on a grand hillside estate.
