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.

Curiosity leads to knowledge: lack of curiosity leads to ignorance, which is bliss.
