Father George Coyne, astronomer, promoter of science-theology dialogue, dies (Crux)

Coyne was widely known for promoting conversations on the intersection of theology and science... “George did a lot to promote women in astronomy”...

Given that there are still Christians who think there is a conflict between science and religion (albeit mainly in the protestant evangelical churches rather than the Catholic Church), it's worth remembering Coyne's contribution. As Wikipedia puts it, "Coyne was a vocal proponent of the view that a scientific view of evolution in its classic form, including its random nature, is compatible with Catholic teaching".
