NO, you claimed that this opposition to the heliocentric was not from the church, it was from the “universities”.
There were almost no NATIONS, much less universities in Europe circa 1600 that were in any way free to contradict the pope. I “refuted Milan” by defying you to provide us with an example of a university free of Vatican domnination. The fact is, that you cant.
I asked you what universities you think may have been this free then. That was a silly statement by that writer, to say that the universities were some force that was free to oppose the Vatican.
The Pope locked up galileo. Unless you think they lied recently.
And this has not a whit to do with todays church to criticize those elitist despots back then. I give the modern church more credit for winning the cold war than i even do Thatcher and Reagan. The popes role in that is never recognized for the driving force it truly was.
(actually in 1600 the University of Wittenberg, as well as that of the University of Geneva, probably a couple other continental universities in northern Europe, and of course, Oxford and Cambridge too, were free of papal domination.)
Of course your point stands, as I’m sure you meant universities within Roman Catholic principalities at that time.
