Is the Pope *really* condemning curiosity?
I saw a link to this on Facebook, accompanied by some unflattering comments about Pope Francis seemingly having anti-science views:
Evan as an atheist from an English Protestant upbringing I find this surprising, which is why I suspect either an inadequate translation or a significant implied context that I am missing.

That is certainly much more in line with what I understood Pope Francis' stance to be. As such, that makes me wonder even more whether, in the document I linked to, "curiosity" is being used in the sense of meaning scientific enquiry at all.
