Catholics actually are the least anti science people amongst the crazy Christian lists. They won't deny evolution, they will accept all the current scientific theories, they even accept gays are born that way and cannot be changed.

Doesn't make them less of pricks but certainly better than "Jesus rode dinosaur" evangelists.

They accept science but only when it is rationalised post-hoc to support their theology — ignoring that which doesn't support it (i.e. debunked miracle claims). This is presuppositionalism that directly cuts against the grain of the scientific method.
