Good discussion. Just a minor critique. Around 7:20, Paul talks about the Church's lack of competency in regards to science. It's clear enough that Paul is speaking about the natural sciences here and not science, per se. That stated, the distinction is important enough to mention. The reason being is that not all science is material. For example, in the tradition of St. Thomas Aquinas, the Church recognizes theology as a science. And under the broad category of theology, there are sub-sciences such as moral theology and scripture. All three - theology, moral theology, and scripture - fall under the proper competency of the Church to comment on.
St. John Paul II in his great encyclical on faith and reason, Fides et ratio, recognized a true unity among science, philosophy, and theology. One of the keys to this unity is the science of metaphysics. Another key is the overarching sense of wisdom (aka, sapiential horizon) that authentically connects all truth.
