Sapienza University students greet Pope Benedict XVI at the end of his weekly general audience at the Vatican Jan. 16. Students from the Rome university poured into Vatican City to show support for the pope after protests over his views on science forced him to cancel a speech at the public college. (See NCR Jan. 25.) Benedict addressed a conference sponsored by the Pontifical Academy of Sciences and the French Academy of Sciences Jan. 28. While the sciences may help people live better in many ways, he said, "No science can say who man is, where he came from or where he is going." He continued: "In our age, when scientific developments attract and seduce because of the possibilities they offer, it is more important than ever to educate the consciences of our contemporaries so that science never becomes the criteria of goodness, and so that man is respected as the center of creation."
