Synopsis
Excerpt from Galileo, the Roman Inquisition: A Defense of the Catholic Church From the Charge of Having Persecuted Galileo for His Philosophical Opinions; From the Dublin Review, With an Introduction by an American Catholic
We do not make these remarks in a spirit of hypercriticism, but merely for the instruction of those persons who clamorously assert for Mr. Adams an infallibility in matters of history which we feel confident he is. Far from claiming for himself. Nay, we are even willing to suppose that these and many similar mistakes that might be: pointed out were caused by the haste of composition, or made by Mr. adams' copyist.

Galileo, the Roman Inquisition (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex history of scientific discovery and religious authority, focusing on the infamous persecution of Galileo Galilei by the Inquisition. It challenges widely held misconceptions and historical inaccuracies surrounding this event, arguing that Galileo's conflict with the Church stemmed not from his scientific theories themselves, but from his combative approach and defiance of established authority. The author meticulously examines the intellectual landscape of 16th and 17th-century Europe, highlighting the Church's historical support for scientific inquiry and its patronage of prominent astronomers like Copernicus and Kepler. By contrasting Galileo's experience with that of his contemporaries, the book reveals a nuanced picture, where religious and scientific spheres intersected in intricate ways. Exploring themes of intellectual freedom, dogma, and the evolving relationship between faith and reason, the author invites readers to reconsider the Galileo affair within its historical context. This book ultimately underscores the importance of understanding the complexities of historical narratives, encouraging us to move beyond simplistic interpretations of the past.
