Pope Pius XII and Modern Science: Towards a Catholic Science Course by Frits Albers

Pope Pius XII and Modern Science: Towards a Catholic Science Course by Frits Albers

Pope Pius XII and Modern Science: Towards a Catholic Science Course

by Frits Albers, edited by Frank Calneggia

Frits Albers compiled a comprehensive exposition and summary of the principles of science, and philosophy as it pertains to science, taught by His Holiness Pope Pius XII in nine addresses on science and scientific subjects and in one encyclical.  The Pope explains the worth and necessity of true science and its rightful place in society, the pitfalls of pseudo-science, and the intellectual and moral obligations of scientists; not only as scientists engaged in highly specialized occupations, but as responsible and mature citizens of a society greatly impacted and formed by their work.

The first principle of the papal synthesis, the one from which all others radiate, is the certitude that true science should lead the scientist to a personal belief in God. This foremost principle and propositions which lead to it as well as those which follow upon it, form the basis for the type of science courses that should be taught in Catholic Schools and Universities. 

The author presented his exposition of Papal Teaching in such a way that the principles to follow and the errors to avoid are clearly marked out and separated in successive sections of the book. The blue-print is easy to follow and should give instruction, encouragement and fresh heart to the beleaguered Catholic science teacher or professor.

TESTIMONIALS

“Albers’ Pope Pius XII and Science is a rigorous, unapologetically Catholic synthesis that restores the harmony of faith and reason, challenging modern assumptions while inviting scholars to recover a vision of science ordered to truth and God.” – Dr. Sebastian Mahfood, OP, Director, Institute for Theological Encounter with Science and Technology

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

 

Frits Albers Ph. B (1921-2000) was born in Holland and studied under the Jesuits at Nijmegen during the 1940s.  He emigrated to Australia in 1951, and travelled extensively within the south-east region of the ‘lucky country’.  He joined the Department of Education in Victoria and worked as a high school teacher who specialised in mathematics, French and English.

In the early post Vatican II period he realised that the strange interpretations of the recently concluded Council that were being forced upon Catholics were under pinned by the same philosophy he had been taught in the 1940’s by the Jesuits at Nijmegen in the name of St Thomas Aquinas, but which in reality was the systematic Modernism of Pierre Teilhard De Chardin, S.J. Thus, in the early 1970’s he began writing articles and books to expose the philosophical root of these errors and aberrations of Teilhard De Chardin, and to defend Catholic Faith, clear thinking, and right philosophy.

ABOUT THE EDITOR

 

The editor is a retired electrical engineer who worked for most of his professional career in the specialist area of power generation. In a sabbatical year, he completed post graduate research in the History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Melbourne. He has long loved the philosophy of St Thomas Aquinas.

The Salvation of the Embryonic Person: Beginning with the Incarnation and the Immaculate Conception by Francis Etheredge

The Salvation of the Embryonic Person: Beginning with the Incarnation and the Immaculate Conception by Francis Etheredge

The Salvation of the Embryonic Person​: Beginning with the Incarnation and the Immaculate Conception by Francis Etheredge

by Francis Etheredge

Why does salvation begin with embryonic human children? Because this is where God began – both in the case of Mary’s Immaculate Conception and in the Incarnation of the Son of God. So we are following the initiative of God Himself who, having thought of us from all eternity, longs to bring each one of us to give glory to God for calling us to exist in relationship to Him and to others.

And, just as St. John XXIII said that human life is sacred because of the action of God, so all these different, glowing, golden threads, show that God seeks us before we are born. And, therefore, we are not born cold. We come to exist as surrounded by grace as an electro-magnet surrounds a wire to induce a current in it. The current is the impulse God gives us to seek the salvation that comes to us through Jesus Christ.

Paperback: $TBA| Kindle $9.99

TESTIMONIALS

“Francis Etheredge’s brilliant arguments amply demonstrate the reality of human personhood from the moment of conception.  This creative synthesis of philosophy, theology, and science is essential reading for anyone interested in demystifying the current controversies in bioethics.” – Richard A. Spinello, Professor, Boston College & St. John’s Seminary
“This book by Francis Etheredge offers a profound and prompt theological meditation on the dignity of embryonic human life through the lens of the Annunciation. With intellectual rigor and pastoral sensitivity, it confronts the tragic reality facing nascent persons while situating that reality within the realm of salvation history. Drawing on Scripture, magisterial teaching, and careful analysis, the author illuminates how each human conception echoes the beginning itself. Particularly compelling as it is rooted in Marian theology and divine mercy. This work is both challenging and hope-filled—a significant contribution to contemporary bioethical and theological discourse.” – John C. Preiss- President, Fatima Family America

“Francis Etheredge’s new work, The Salvation of the Embryonic Person presents a fresh and clear appeal to the conscience of the modern world regarding the existence, plight and fate of frozen embryonic life. Combining a rich theological precision with a lucid understanding of the biological realities of the act of conception, Etheredge places in the spotlight the excesses of the artificial fertilization industry, the proliferation of embryonic human life as medical “material” for experimentation or discarding, and the Church’s manifest need to respond with a solidly grounded theological-pastoral approach to this very real need. This work is a clarion call to the pro-life movement to take a hard look at the terrible reality beyond the merely abortifacient industry and recognize the reality of children conceived in vitro and kept in preservation for an uncertain fate. Moreover, his theological-scriptural precision presents a compelling argument for embryonic adoption as a viable moral choice in the modern world. Etheredge’s perspective is simultaneously strictly Catholic and immanently merciful, a rare combination in presenting theology of this kind. I wholeheartedly recommend this work for anyone involved in pro-life ministry, legislation, and to the wider community of theologians and pastors.” – Patrick A. Gill, MBA

“All men, even we the Catholic faithful, often fail to view our own struggles as well as other people’s trials within the context of Faith. Yet, this is precisely our calling. The essential reason we even live our Faith is to encounter and to be in deep relationship with Jesus throughout our life on Earth and, hopefully, eternally in Heaven. In his most recent book, The Salvation of the Embryonic Person: Beginning with the Incarnation and the Immaculate Conception (2026), author Francis Etheredge directs us to understand and value all the ages and stages of human life, most specifically in this writing the embryonic, as precious and intended and loved by God, as mind, body, and soul, as human. Etheredge explores the tragic reality of frozen embryos, discarded embryos, and abortifacient pharmaceuticals; and, ultimately, he contends that the answer to all these anti-life issues is recognizing personhood in light of the Incarnation. Etheredge’s book encourages the reader to question: Do I imagine, contemplate upon, and meditate within the Incarnation, Jesus within Our Lady’s most immaculate womb, to help me to genuinely know myself as well as to know, respect, and protect the lives of others from conception through natural death? This reflection teaches that it is knowing and loving who we really are, created in the Image of God, that we will truly know and deeply love others. Loving and defending sacred embryonic life manifests differently for everyone. We must listen to the Holy Spirit and learn what our individual calling is. + Come, Holy Spirit. +” –  Denise Y. Montgomery, M.A. English Language and Literature, Creative Writing: DeniseYMontgomery.com

The Salvation of Embryonic Human Life is a challenging book, intellectually, morally, and spiritually. . . . I strongly recommend [it] to bioethicists, theologians, physicians, jurists, and all those who are committed to thinking seriously and responsibly about the beginning of human life. It is a work that does not evade complexity, but neither does it surrender to despair.” – Prof. Rev. Alberto Carrara, LC, PhD, Dean of the Faculty of Philosophy, Pontifical Athenaeum Regina Apostolorum (Rome), Member of the Pontifical Academy for Life. Click here for the rest of the review.

“Drawing from Scripture, magisterial teaching, and a profound Marian imagination, Francis Etheredge offers a fresh theological meditation on the dignity of nascent human life. By returning to the Annunciation, the very moment when God’s love took flesh, he invites readers into a deeper spiritual encounter with the truth that every human life is held, known, and loved by God. This creative integration of Mariology and moral theology will resonate with those seeking a theological, contemplative, and compassionate vision of human dignity.” – Claire Gallagher, MATs, Consecrated Virgin for the Archdiocese of New Orleans
“Embryonic humanity can be seen as the ultimate target of this demonic assault on God’s creation. The smallest and most helpless are paying the highest price. Francis Etheredge’s account of their fate is a major contribution to placing their situation in its true anthropological and theological context.” – Anthony Williams M.A. (Theol.), Ph.D., Click here for the rest of the review.

“Etheredge unveils the luminous truth that God meets us first in our earliest beginnings. His meditation draws golden threads between grace and existence, showing how salvation awakens within the very sanctity of embryonic life.” – Dr. Sebastian Mahfood, OP, co-author with Ronda Chervin of Catholic Realism

Conscientious Objection in Medical Practice by Eric Manuel Torres, PhD

Conscientious Objection in Medical Practice by Eric Manuel Torres, PhD

Conscientious Objection in Medical Practice: A Content Analysis of the Victorian Parliamentary Discussions Establishing the Abortion Law Reform Act 2008

by Eric Manuel Torres

This book explores Victoria’s Abortion Law Reform Act (ALRA) 2008 as it relates to health practitioners exercising conscientious objection to induced abortion. In examining the moral nature of abortion and what constitutes a valid conscientious objection, Dr. Torres argues that the ALRA undermines the right of medical practitioners to uphold a conscientious objection to partaking in an induced abortion. Through a content analysis of the parliamentary debate that established the ALRA, this research identifies the dominant ethical opinions underpinning this legislation in order to understand and explain the reasons for why this law treats conscientious objection the way it does.

Paperback: $29.95 | Kindle: $9.99

REVIEWS

Bioethicist Francis Etheredge has distilled the themes and arguments of his earlier works into a heartfelt defense of life, human dignity, and personal identity. He asks the hard questions, forcing us to face the reality of our humanity: Who are we and why are we here? He answers with logic and precision, for we are persons in relationship with one another and with our Creator – the Holy Trinity – God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He goes further, anticipating our doubts, asking why we need to bring God into the debate – revealing there must be a first cause if we are to enter the mystery of human identity. And so, while Francis Etheredge clearly owns a Christian perspective, he explains why this is the best argument, as he blends the love of God, reason and evidence, truth and love, into a definition of our humanity. As he leads us further into the miracle of life, he considers marriage, conception, gender identity, and family. He faces the reality of fertilization, frozen embryos, and the responsibility we share for the lives of these innocent children. In the midst of today’s silencing of debate, he speaks truth, inspiring us to have respectful conversations and educate the next generation to think critically about these heart-rending realities. A Shorter Bioethics is a stunning work, accessible, courageous, and caring. He asks us to join him on this journey into the light to discover who we are and who we are meant to be. There can be no greater question and no greater answer. I highly recommend this excellent guide through the dark woods of our time!

Christine Sunderland, Anglo-Catholic Novelist
Octave of the Feast of All Saints, 2025

“A luminous call to conscience, faith, and freedom at the heart of human dignity.”

In A Shorter Bioethics, Francis Etheredge offers a profound, faith-filled meditation on what it means to be truly human. Drawing from his lived experience as a Catholic husband and father of eleven—three of whom have tragically passed—Etheredge brings a depth of compassion and authenticity rarely found in academic discourse. His writing is not merely theoretical; it is incarnational, rooted in the joys and sufferings of family life, and guided by the light of faith. This book stands as a testament to the Christian belief that every human life is sacred, every relationship meaningful, and every act of love a window into divine reality.

Etheredge’s work is of urgent importance for individuals, couples, and the global community. In an age where technology threatens to fragment our understanding of identity and reduce human beings to biological commodities, A Shorter Bioethics insists on a holistic, person-centred approach. His emphasis on the unity of body and soul, the sanctity of life from conception, and the moral integrity of marriage and fertility offers a much-needed moral compass. This is not only a bioethical primer—it is a pastoral guide, a philosophical reflection, and a spiritual resource all in one.

Perhaps one of the book’s most courageous contributions is its unwavering defence of free speech. Etheredge recognises that the discussion of life, identity, and ethics must remain open to rigorous, respectful debate—especially in a cultural climate increasingly resistant to viewpoints grounded in faith or traditional values. His appeal is not polemical but prophetic, calling us back to first principles and reminding us that true dialogue requires the freedom to speak, question, and dissent.

In short, A Shorter Bioethics is a beacon of clarity and compassion in a morally confused world. It challenges us to listen more attentively, to suffer more meaningfully, and to speak more freely. It is not only a gift to the field of bioethics but to every reader seeking a deeper understanding of life, love, and truth.” James Sale, Classical Poetry Society Fellow, regular columnist for NY’s The Epoch Times on myth and culture, epic poet, best-selling author, international business man

TESTIMONIALS

“Francis Etheridge’s new book is as brilliantly original as his other books.  Such readable insights into so many thorny problems of our times. Get it! Read it!” –Dr. Ronda Chervin, Professor Emeritus Holy Apostles College, author of numerous Catholic books, Media Presenter.
“As we run from pillar to post in the busyness of modern life, many of us attempt to catch snippets of knowledge and wisdom from quick respites of reading good books on both ageless and current matters. Unfortunately, many of the best books are just too lengthy for us to consume adequately. A Shorter Bioethics offers a brief but in-depth overview of several serious moral issues that we face in today’s complicated world. Delving quickly and succinctly into the meaning of our existence before God and one another, Francis Etheredge invites us to quickly but profoundly glance into the bioethics of contraception, IVF, and gender identity issues in order to find the common ground between faith and reason, while holding to an overwhelmingly beautiful and ontologically objective view of the human person.” – Kiki Latimer, Catholic author & Host of the Catholic Bookworm

“This is a superb overview of some of the key bioethical issues we face. The author’s person-centred approach makes his work uniquely accessible to the contemporary mind.” – Dr. Pravin Thevasathan, Catholic Psychiatrist (retired) and assistant to the editor of the Catholic Medical Quarterly, UK.
