and, miraculously, even the “article” in the godless leftist ultra-biased Wikipedia has some accurate information that refutes your tired regurgitation of the Great Galileo Myth http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo_affair#Inquisition_examination

did ten cardinals of the Inquisition who conducted Galileo's 1633 trial convict him and sentence him to life imprisonment ?

Just wondering.

If this is wrong then I guess all my premises are based on lies.

Cause it sure seems that the pope went out of his way back in the 80's and 90's to issue an "non" me culpa for the Church.

I was just an interested bystander since at the time my interest were in biochemistry and not physics. Since I was a fallen Catholic, it was of interest on how the church hierarchy felt about some of the science that was and is being developed. I've tended to find more scientist, physicians and academics that were led back to the Lord after witnessing the majesty and complexity of the universe around us. It's inspiring to see a child run..... what's more inspiring is to know the science behind how a child can balance itself and run in the grand scheme of the universe.

I've also seen the brutality of man and how evil, greedy, stupid, vile and weak men use whatever means they can to control other men.

Like I said before, I love the Church but sometimes think that bureaucrats, corruption and greed are timeless.
