Father Coyne in Raleigh

From The News and Observer:

The new priest at St. Raphael the Archangel Roman Catholic Church in North Raleigh is no ordinary clergyman. He’s a scientist, an astronomer and a vocal proponent of evolution.

The Rev. George Coyne, who stepped down as director of the Vatican Observatory last month, will spend a sabbatical on the staff of St. Raphael. He will stay for a year before returning to the observatory in the Arizona desert, where he will continue to lead the Vatican Observatory Foundation.

Cool. The Rev. Coyne may be helpful if creationists try something in NC.
