And Galileo's real problem his problem was that he, too, was an asshole who ****ed off the wrong people. No, his problem was that the "wrong people" had the power to threaten him with torture and place him under house arrest, instead of just suffering their annoyance either in silence, or with free speech of their own. Had Italy in his day been under a modern democratic political system with religious pluralism and legal protections for free speech and individual rights, his situation could not possibly happen. So his problem was that the Catholic Church was illegitimately exercising the power of making law without being a modern democratically-elected government. John Savard |
