Is there any evidence indicating that the Pope attempted to suppress the number zero?
In an editorial review, Rob Lightner claims that "Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea", by Charles Seife, explains "Why did the Church reject the use of zero?". On the other hand, "God's Philosophers: How the Medieval World Laid the Foundations of Modern Science", by James Hannam, rebuts "the idea that the pope tried to suppress the number zero".
