Terrible. Awful. Wrong. Just a complete nonsense take. Not even the Catholic church believes this. The fucking pope came out and admitted they called that one wrong. There are multiple official Catholic decrees and official ststements by the church admitting that Gallileo was in the right. You should never find yourself in a position where you're defending the Catholic church more than the Catholic church is.

Galileo was in active talks about the content of his book with the church, and the content was deemed fine, then because the church was getting owned elsewhere in Europe they do a 180 on him to avoid losing face without even telling the cardinal serving as liaison.

Ffs They demanded he add counterarguments, bad counterarguments, to his own work in his book, lied to him through the entire affair and imprisoned him for life for being rude.
