About this sermon
This week marks 100 years since the landmark Scopes Trial, a pivotal moment in the American debate over evolution. The 1925 case, which unfolded in Dayton, Tennessee, saw a science teacher fined for teaching evolution in defiance of state law. While often framed as a clash between science and religion, the trial’s legacy is more complex. Loyola University Maryland’s Father John Conley, Chair of Philosophy and Theology, joins to explore Catholic reactions to the case, how Pope Leo XIII approached evolution, and how this trial remains relevant for Christians today. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
