How is the Church "ignoring science"?
She may analyze science and apply her moral reasoning and reach a conclusion that some scientists don't like -- but that's hardly ignoring science.

Well how about the continual opposition of safe practises (condom use) even when they've been scientifically proven to help increase the quality of life for the general population (prevention of STD transmission).
I'm not against the church in general, I think people should be allowed to believe in whichever deity they want too, but not at the expense of people's health - which is essentially what they're doing.
Luckily, I know a lot of people raised Catholic who know how condoms work, and as far as I know the church would probably rather they use condoms if they must have sex.
