Default Pope Benedict XVI celebrates Galileo's astronomy (DailyTelegraph)

Wasn't the Catholic Church the first Illuminatis,
all because of Galileo's theories?

Amazingly, it wasn't until 1992 that Pope John Paul officially
conceded that the earth was not stationary!

Backwards idiots.

It must have been extremely frustrating to Galileo being a loyal
Catholic.

Illuminati = enlightened ones?
No, just another bunch of BS'ers versed well in the art of BS'ing.

Do not believe anything has changed. Today's backward idiots
have black hole, only-one-speed-of-light and big bang theories
without any evidence to support them.

Have you conceded that light speed is not constant? If not, you need
to look yourself in the mirror.

And these backward idiots of today, the relativists, will only concede
long after they are proven wrong.

Look at the GAUL of the RC Church. Projecting their world view of faith onto
Galileo...a scientist.

Galileo is called the father of physics, the father of observational
astronomy and the father of science and his name will probably be
remembered forever.

The other guy is just the latest money-grubbing father of tens of
thousands of child abusers and will be forgotten five minutes after he
descends to his maker.

Tis the season for empiricists to sound small !.

This is what happens when you develop astrological 'predictions' as
the core of a belief and all based on an astrological framework
created by John Flamsteed and now known as the 'equatorial coordinate
system'. Empricists are fine ,the problem is now with denominational
Christianity who reject the very astronomical heritage to which
Galileo belonged,a heritage which at complete variance with the
present astrological intrusion by the empiricists.

The condition of being sour is one thing but added to unintelligence
is quite something else yet that is exactly what happened when
mathematicians ran amok with astronomy and can be seehere day in and
day out.

Well, no. In fact, it was in the 1820s that they authorized a re-issue of
Galileo's work, without any omissions or "corrections"; and when the one
official who could obstruct the publication decided to obscruct it because
he didn't like that stuff, the Vatican threatened to punish him if he
didn't let the project go ahead. By that time there was nobody who
questioned the motion of the Earth, barring an occasional bozo like this
one, or like a modern Creationist. The highest authorities mainly wanted
the issue to go away -- and it took another 150 years to figure out that
it wouldn't, and it needed to be faced in public.

The funny part about that is that Galileo wrote a note in the margin of
his copy of the book, addressed satirically to the Church authorities and
warning that one day his ideas might be accepted, and then they'd have to
attack anybody who *denied* heliocentrism. (Hence: better to keep out of
these issues, just as he'd tried to tell them since 1615 or so.) So he
wasn't just a scientist, but a prophet, and a better one than most.


Backwards idiots.

Catholic.


You said it!

The GAUL? Is it divided into three parts, then?
