“Nothing new here. Except that they can’t burn Copernicus anymore.”

I think you are referring to Giordano Bruno.

“they can’t burn Copernicus anymore.”

Copernicus was a Catholic priest and scholar who was honored by the Catholic church during his lifetime.

In 1533, Johann Widmanstetter, secretary to Pope Clement VII, explained Copernicus's heliocentric system to the Pope and the cardinals. The Pope was so pleased that he gave him a valuable gift.

Following the death of the Bishop of Warmia in 1537, Copernicus participated in the election of his successor. Copernicus was one of four candidates for the post.

Copernicus died at age 70 on 24 May 1543. Copernicus was buried in Frombork Cathedral and honored in a Catholic funeral mass and ceremony.

Stop saying things that are not true.
