Ah, but its much more complex than just that. This was before the acceptance of moderation as proposed by some of the early "Church Doctors" such as Augustine, in which there was no threat to Christianity by classical learning. Besides which, in order for this to support Gary's thesis, this would have to have taken place at the behest of the church leadership; rather it seems to have been undertaken by a radical group that took it into their own hands. Furthermore, there may have been a bit more of politics involved in her alienation than just "Pagan" science.
