Not to start an argument, but that's not what happened.

Nice article. Thanx.

Proof of re-incarnation??

Joe Mc C was Gallileo in a previous life.

From The Galileo Affair
"Galileo was intent on ramming Copernicus down the throat of Christendom. The irony is that when he started his campaign, he enjoyed almost universal good will among the Catholic hierarchy. But he managed to alienate almost everybody with his caustic manner and aggressive tactics."

Hate to burst your bubble, but the Holy See had its own agenda to push forward--that they were not the bad guys, Galileo was.

History has already spoken. The Catholic Church then, and now, thought itself above reproach. It was and is not. To go back now and try to say Galileo got it all wrong and it was just a big misunderstanding was just plain silly. I was once a Catholic but put that religion aside for another once I left home. I do not follow dogma and that is all they have to offer.

Back then it was the Catholic Church, today it is Global Warming, Y2K, environmentalism, the sky is falling, Darwinism and other weirdness.

Honestly!
