Science and religion have absolutely nothing in common. One cannot and should
not integrate the two. Attempting to integrate or mix the two is exactly what
is meant by pseudoscience, which is what Fr. Ivo, Gilbert and others are doing.
It is important that lay people be made aware of this scam, and told why it is
wrong. Otherwise, they easily fall prey to this feel-good, cultural relativist,
fake "can't-we-all-get-along" nonsense, as is evident from the posts from Rita,
Maurice, Albert and others that Mario is fending off on my right flank. This
mixing has now become a leftist ideological and political movement. It has led
to many shady and unethical New Age practices - various faux health and
nutrition cults, the so-called alternative medics mixing their untested
remedies with modern drugs, and using this backdoor route to "practice" modern
medicine without a license, as well as engage in outright quackery.
