| | 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. | | | Such a declaration, naturally was not taken very seriously, and in spite of it he was condemned as "vehemently suspected of heresy" to incarceration at the pleasure of the tribunal and to recite the Seven Penitential Psalms once a week for three years. | | | 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 Galilei (1564-1642) - By Miles Hodges |
| | Galileo challenged deeply the widely held Aristotelian vision of a divine heavenly realm set on its unchanging or eternal course, standing in stark distinction above the realm of the earth with its somewhat confused play-out of things as they struggle to make their way forward to their particular destinies. | | | A show-down between Galileo and the church was inevitable--given Galileo's personality and the church's highly defensive position. | | | It was when the cause of explaining the movement of the heavens came into the hands of Galileo Galilei that the heliocentric theory of the universe finally became the revolutionary bombshell that rocked the medieval worldview. |
