  CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Science and the Church
Church, in connexion with science, theoretically means any Church that claims authority in matters of doctrine and teaching; practically, however, only the Catholic Church is in question, on account of her universality and her claim of power to exercise this authority.
The greatest obstacle to anti-Christian science is the Church, which claims Divine origin, authority to teach infallible truth, maintains the inspiration of Scripture, and is confident of her own existence to the end of the world.
The domination of the Church in the Middle Ages and its influence upon the progress of science is a subject that required a different mind from that of a chemist or physicist.

 Mind in Nature: the Interface of Science and Philosophy
Modern science has developed in the main under the concept that nonliving matter is wholly mindless and is subject to completely deterministic laws of nature.
A philosophy of science must, however, restrict itself to interpretations based on the current findings of science with the caveat that these are certain to change in ways which we cannot predict.
This view implies considerable limitations on the synthetic phases of science, but in any case it seems to have reached the point of demonstration in the field of quantum physics, that prediction can be expressed only in terms of probabilities, decreasing with the period of time.
