This truly is a remarkable story.

Did you know that the Jesuits began the study of seismology in the Western world? That the first textbook in America on the subject of seismology was written by a Jesuit priest?

That is the only start of what you should know. Enjoy this lecture as well!

Interesting. I guess it confirms that science and religion don't need to be mutually exclusive.

Yes, it does.

The Church is responsible for many great scientific achievements, both directly in what the clergy have done and theoretically in terms of the influence the Church's thought has had.
