No, William Tyndale was persecuted because his translation was in English and because it has proven to have been more accurate than previous Latin works.

This is settled and documented historic fact. Of course, I appreciate that you find fault with this as it flies in the face of dogma. I imagine you also have an axe to grind against astronomers who tell people that the earth is not the center of a perfect universe.

If you care to point out one of the passages that was so much more accurate and in its accuracy ticked off the powers that were, I’ll be happy to compare the greek or hebrew, the latin, and his english. I think Natural Law in post 45 has a better grasp of the history.

The Church had no problem with Copernicus.

Do you, like Galileo, hold that the sun is the primary cause of the tides and that this must be held as proof of the heliocentric solar system, and that all must unquestioning submit to Galileo’s interpretation of Scripture?

With ignorance so blatant, it's amazing you expect to be taken seriously here. Do some research on Copernicus then come back and report to the class. While you're gone, you may want to check into the Church's history of support for all of the sciences...
