Umm.. Copernicus, Kepler and Galileo all were committed for heresy by the Vatican for proving that the world was "round as a orange".... They did it according to star maps and lunar cycle. That's like the first thing learned in High School physics...

Copernicus was the .. discoverer? theorizer? not sure the right word there... of the heliocentric model of the solar system. His work wasn't criticized by the church for 60 years until Galileo. (he was never convicted of heresy to my knowledge) Galileo himself was convicted of grave suspicion of heresy. His actual conviction had a lot more to do with everything around the actual theory of heliocentrism than the actual theory itself. Kepler was Lutheran. |

But Ravasi said the Vatican had no intention of apologizing for earlier negative views. 'Maybe we should abandon the idea of issuing apologies as if history was a court eternally in session,' he said, adding that Darwin's theories were 'never condemned by the Catholic Church nor was his book ever banned'." I'm not sure why it affects me like it does, but it really amuses me. |
