That is a huge distortion. The Church firmly argued then that the earth was the center of everything. The church wasnt the guardian of purity on science in 1600. They were deathly afraid of anything that might threaten their theology, and thereby, their temporal power.

You obviously get all of your knowledge from PBS and the History channel. I’d even wager that you’re one of those suckers who lines the wallets of people like Brown and Howard.

That’s nothing but psychobabble. What evidence do you have? You are expressing a marxist view of religion and don’t even have the sense to know it. It is absoultely illogical - in fact it is IRRATIONAL - to believe one tribunal either sums up the Church’s official views, or its “fears” seen from some marxist armchair 300 years later.

Give up the marxist view of religion as a quest for power and you might actually begin to understand what motivates genuinely religious people. Don’t be suckered!

Wow. And now they're the most science-worshiping, reason-worshiping, anti-literal Church in the world.

Ironic.
