He's a bit more significant to that. And; I'm sure any statement has to be cleared by whatever constitutes "the Vatican". So; I don't see anything wrong with that statement.

My question is what the aim of a Vatican astronomer is. I know that religion has been struggling with the conflict of science vs religion. My assumption is that this person is more of a science ambassador of sort. Somebody who is just trying to frame the science rather than explain the science so that it doesn't destroy the faith by direct conflicts to what was written.
