The extraordinary irony here is we live in a post-Christian world in which the incredible success of science has become in the minds of most of us the false conviction that the only "real knowledge" is scientific knowledge (based on external sensory data) and everything else is subjective (based on opinion, with one opinion being self-evidently as good as any other). 

And yet on this one subject where an incredible 97% of scientific experts agree, "real knowledge" is disparaged as mere subjective opinion.

Conclusion: our insane capacity for irrationality not only exists within the Catholic Church.
