It will always remain a difficult topic to write about simply because there are no textbook answers to this question. Note the use of theological language by the Pope in an attempt to 'fit better' with the language and rubrics of science.
For centuries, proponents of these 2 fields of knowledge may have eluded one another in an attempt to give each other equal airtime. To appreciate any developments in this area, one must first understand the language of discourse used. Just as you do not use the language of biology to describe the study of economics, the same may apply to science and religion.

It beats all the age-old if not trite, tried and tested accounts of Galileo (and Copernicus) used in too many essays. By the way, it's good to move with the times.
