| | Galileo Galilei - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Galileo also contributed to the rejection of blind allegiance to authority (like the Church) or other thinkers (such as Aristotle) in matters of science and to the separation of science from philosophy or religion. | | | Galileo was a practicing Catholic, yet his writings on Copernican heliocentrism disturbed some in the Catholic Church who believed in a geocentric model of the solar system. | | | Before Galileo had trouble with the Jesuits and before the Dominican friar Caccini denounced him from the pulpit, his employer heard him accused of contradicting Scripture by a professor of philosophy, Cosimo Boscaglia, who was neither a theologian nor a priest. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Galileo Galilei |
| | Galileo and Foscarini rightly urged that the Bible is intended to teach men to go to heaven, not how the heavens go. | | | It was not until four years later that trouble arose, the ecclesiastical authorities taking alarm at the persistence with which Galileo proclaimed the truth of the Copernican doctrine. | | | But what, more than all, raised alarm was anxiety for the credit of Holy Scripture, the letter of which was then universally believed to be the supreme authority in matters of science, as in all others. |

| | Galileo Biography |
| | Galileo's belief in the truth of the Copernican hypothesis alarmed Dominicans such as Tommaso Caccini and Niccolo Lorini, and the Inquisition examined Galileo's letter to Christina. | | | Galileo's run-in with the Church is famous to this day, though often over-romanticized or misunderstood. | | | Benedetto Castelli, Galileo's student, who was present, asked Galileo to comment on the central point of that conversation Ü the conflict between the Bible and the heliocentric doctrine. |

| | Galileo was a religious man, and he agreed that the Bible could never be wrong. | | | While some of the Church's mathematicians wrote that Galileo's observations were clearly correct, many members of the Church believed that Galileo must be wrong. | | | In December of 1613, one of Galileo's friends told him how a powerful member of the nobility said that she could not see how Galileo's observations could be true, since they would contradict the Bible. |

| | Galileo, less convinced that Castelli had won the argument, wrote Letter to Castelli to him arguing that the Bible had to be interpreted in the light of what science had shown to be true. | | | In a personal letter written to Kepler in 1598, Galileo had stated that he was a Copernican (believer in the theories of Copernicus). | | | Galileo, therefore, decided to publish his views believing that he could do so without serious consequences from the Church. |

| | Early in 1616, Galileo was accused of being a heretic, a person who opposed Church teachings. | | | The Catholic Church, which was very powerful and influential in Galileo's day, strongly supported the theory of a geocentric, or Earth-centered, Universe. | | | After Galileo began publishing papers about his astronomy discoveries and his belief in a heliocentric, or Sun-centered, Universe, he was called to Rome to answer charges brought against him by the Inquisition (the legal body of the Catholic Church). |

| | The pope concluded that while 17th-century theologians based their decision on the knowledge available to them at the time, they had wronged Galileo by not recognizing the difference between a question relating to scientific investigation and one falling into the realm of doctrine of the faith. | | | In 1616 the system of Copernicus was denounced as dangerous to faith, and Galileo, summoned to Rome, was warned not to uphold it or teach it. | | | In spite of infirmities and, at the last, blindness, Galileo continued the pursuit of scientific truth until his death. |
