“When you speak of consciousness, you do not refer to the moral conscious: the
very rigor of your methods ensures that you do not leave the strictly
scientific domain which belongs to you. What you have in mind exclusively is
the same faculty of perceiving and of reacting to perception, that is to say,
the psychophysiological concept which constitutes one of the accepted meanings
of the word 'consciousness.'” -(Pope Paul VI addressing a gathering of
Scientists for the study of Brain and Conscious Experience, Rome 1964).
