What reading level is The Popes And Science; the History of the Papal Relations to Science During the Middle Ages And Down to Our Own Time book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The argument may be stated formally with perfect fairness as follows : When men believe in miracles they cannot build up scientific medicine and surgery; but men believed in miracles in the Middle Ages, therefore they did not build up scientific medicine and surgery. When stated thus baldly in formal scholastic form, the argu- ment loses most of the glamor that has been thrown around it. This is one of the advantages of the old scholastic method— it strips argument to its naked signif- icance. ...Logic asserts herself and rhetoric loses its force.
With regard to the major premise that when men be- lieve in miracles they will not successfully pursue in- vestigations in the medical science, there are two an- swers. One of these concerns the actual attitude of mind towards scientific medicine of men who believe in miracles, for we have such men still with us, and have always had them all during the past seven centuries.
The other portion of the answer concerns what men who were distinguished scientific investigators thought of Digitized by L^iOOQIC PAPAL PHYSICIANS 201 miracles, and how much they accomplished for the medi- cal sciences while all the time maintaining their belief in the possibility of miraculous intervention for the cure of disease.
