I qualified my post with "fundamentalist" for that reason. Catholic schools (in the US) tend to be far from fundamentalist. They still have a religious component, but my experience has been that they generally refrain from introducing that into their science and history classes to any great extent.

Catholicism, for all its many faults, is not a fundamentalist religion. There's no conflict between their theology and the scientific method, evolution, etc. It's various Protestant sects that are fundamentalist and deny evolution, think dinosaurs were on Noah's Ark, etc.

Almost exclusively because it's not about religion. Jesuits always were at the front of scientific achievements and embraced them really quickly.

Is Jesuit education fundamentalist? I didn't think it was.

It isn't very fundamentalist :)
