Pontifex Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 [quote name='Veridicus' post='1158439' date='Jan 7 2007, 08:17 PM'] Several bishops during Galileo's time (and apparently a few people yet today) were convinced that acceptance of geocentrism was necessary for salvation and therefore persecuted the scientist. This persecution was later addressed in an apology issued by Pope John Paull II in 1992. My point was that views regarding the nature of supposed [i]conflicts [/i] between science and religion sometimes take centuries to resolve (or at least for one side to accept that the scientific proposal DOESN'T conflict...) [/quote] As a Catholic Priest, I fully endorse the logic of Veridicus' posts. Peace, Pontifex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
