Galileo was a protestant? who knew. I don't think Catholics argued over Aristotle. They based their logic on Categorical syllogisms, a form of argumentation developed by Aristotle. Syllogisms are still widely used, especially in law.
- According to Rome, he wasn't a good Catholic..
Gallileo was from the western coast of Tuscany, the Pisa area, a part of the Italian peninsula where Vikings landed.
On the other hand, if I am to be far too serious than needed, I'd like to point out that we know, since long, that Northern European “blood” as well as traditions emigrated to Medieval Tuscany after the Flemish countries and neighboring parts of Europe was hit by major changes in trading patterns.
The Renaissance Florence that survived the Black Death was very much a blend between Romans that survived the invasions of barbarians (many fled to Romagna), the Etruscans that had been there for even longer and Northern European immigrants seeking a better future for themselves.
These people laid the foundation to what later on was to become the Renaissance.

Galileo was not a Protestant and neither was Plato or Jesus Christ.
I admit that.
But please have a look at what happened after 1500.
Protestant Europeans like Gustavus Adolphus, Newton and Tycho Brahe rejected Catholicism.
They crushed a sinister world challenging them and paved way for righteous Western global dominance.
