In today’s modern era maybe the concept of affirmative action is just now making its way into the Vatican./s

It bothers me when people refer to the Galileo episode without apparently bothering to research what actually happened.

Not exactly canonization (for either Urban or Galileo!) but neither was it the melodramatic myth of "dogma" vs "science" purveyed by people who don't know jack chick about either.
