“Their mistake was the mistake of Galileo. He was right that the earth revolves around the sun, but he didn't know that the entire solar system revolves around yet another center; he didn't know that the real orbit of the earth, as opposed to the relative orbit, is by no means some naive circle...”
“Sorry China...the Earth revolves around the sun...not you. FREE TIBET TODAY!”
“E pur si muove."(And yet it moves.)(What Galileo purportedly muttered after torturers forced him to recant his theory that the earth orbits the sun.)”
“The sun of God's glory was made to shine at the center of the solar system of our soul. And when it does, all the planets of our life are held in their proper orbit.”
“E pur si muove. (Albeit It does move.)[What Galileo purportedly muttered after torturers forced him to recant his theory that the earth orbits the sun.]”
“But, to affirm that the Sun is really fixed in the center of the heavens and the Earth revolves very swiftly around the Sun is a dangerous thing, not only irritating theologians and philosophers, but injuring our holy faith and making the sacred scripture false.Freedom of belief is pernicious, It is nothing but the freedom to be wrong.”
