The Jesuit astronomers at the Vatican have always been extremely knowledgable academics and well aware of the latest techniques. They used their extensive astronomical knowledge in the past to try and convert the heathen Chinese (most notably the work of Ferdinand Verbiest in the 1660's who taught the emperor K'ang-hi European science and mathematics).

There are some excellent scientists at the Vatican. They have no difficulty reconciling their faith with Big Bang cosmology either.
