Entry: The Galileo Myth Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_galileo_myth#15616 Post contents: There is a VERY good case that the Church declared heliocentrism as a heresy. Read Paula Haigh or Solange Hertz on Gallileo.The case rests on a document from 1664 of Alexander VII, who lumps up "relevant matters" on this subject in the Index. The fact that this was understood as a condemnation of heresy of heliocentrism is supported by a book from 1870 by p.William W.Roberts in his collection about heliocentrism. Indeed, it is rather telling. Sent at: 2008 12 02
