Catholics, what is the real reason the Vatican has a telescope?

Question

Here in Arizona we have the Vatican Observatory. What does the pope need a scope for?

Was it that the actual Third Secret of Fatima was a prediction that an asteriod is gonna wipe us all out? Is the asteroid called 'Our Lady'?

Answer 1

Initially the Catholic Church was interested in astronomy to reform the Julian Calendar into the Gregorian Calendar.

Later the establishment of the present form of the Vatican Observatory in 1891 expressed in a real way the Catholic Church's positive regard for science.

Now the Observatory joins in doing good science in a way that is possible, given the Vatican's other concerns, as part of the consequence that the Incarnation of Christ applies to all human activity.

Answer 2

Hi, Am Fields:

Don't know why they have an observatory, but Fatima has pretty much fulfilled. The next big event for Catholics is a similar occurrence at Garabandol, Spain, and everyone in the world will see this one (http://www.catholicplanet.com/secrets/garabandal-warning.htm).

But don't be deceived as Satan will work wonders before he lands personally. More on this in the Bible code at www.abiblecode.tripod.com

Shalom, peace in Jesus, Ben Yeshua

Answer 3

While the whole nature of the Vatican Observatory is to be a bridge between science and the Catholic Church, studies involving science, philosophy, and theology have formed an explicit part of the Observatory's activity since 1987.

Answer 4

The Church has long supported scientific inquiry, as it is no threat to belief.

The secrets of Fatima have been revealed, despite what the sedevacantists (and those close to them) say.
