Creative Minority Reader: Why Catholics Love Science Fiction

Professor of Theology at Saint Vincent's College has many good reasons Star Trek and other science fiction stories appeal to Catholics:

If you don’t know that the new Star Trek movie is coming out tomorrow (technically tonight at midnight), you are not a Trekkie. If don’t know there has been an on-again, off-again leak that the villain in the new movie is Khan Noonien Singh, you are not a class A-Trekkie. If your faith has not been inspired by Star Trek, or any science-fiction for that matter, you are not a theo-trekkie.
