The Plenary Assembly of the Pontifical Council for Culture largely approved a proposal to reach Pope Francis, asking to contemplate whether it is possible to remove the Monitum of the Holy Congregation of the Holy Office on the works of Father Pierre Teilhard de Chardin , SJ The DISF portal , made by the Interdisciplinary Documentation Research Center for Science and Faith erected at the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross in Rome.

The petition was approved on Saturday November 18 during the work of the Assembly on “The Future of Humanity: New Challenges to Anthropology” . The proposal, as raised by the online newspaper Sir , is thus motivated: "We believe that such an act would not only restore the genuine effort of the pious Jesuit in an attempt to reconcile the scientific vision of the universe with Christian escatology but would also represent a formidable a stimulus for all theologians and scientists of good will to collaborate in the construction of a Christian anthropological model that, following the directions of the encyclical Laudato, is naturally placed in the wonderful plot of the cosmos. "

Pope Francis - reads on the site - could receive the proposal in the next few days and this would also be in line with his speech at the Plenary Assembly in which he called for "greater dialogue also between the Church, community of believers, and the scientific community. " Pierre Teilhard de Chardin is certainly not a new figure for the Pope who quoted him in a note of the encyclical Laudato as’(cf. No. 83), grasping its positive contribution to a cosmic breath of Christocentrism. Known for the high apologetic value of his work, especially in the scientific sphere, considered by many as a pioneer in the analysis of biological evolution in the light of faith, Teilhard was subject to disciplinary provisions by the Jesuit Congregation in the 1920s century and a Monitum by the then Congregation of the Holy Office.Teilhard de Chardin, petizione del Dicastero della cultura per rimuovere il “Monitum”

It’s about time !

Father Theilhard de Chardin was far ahead of his time, and even Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI quoted him as they spoke about the bridge between faith and science.

Father Pierre almost succeeded in making a Protestant out of me. His 'How I Believe' made me realize that something off the wall was being proposed by Father Pierre. If what he wrote was 'Catholic' then I was something else.

He didn't cut it as a scientist either. Definitely not as any sort of bridge between evolutionary biology and the faith.
