I’d never actually read the papal condemnation of Galileo. Wow. From a Bayesian or even a Popperian standpoint, that’s as absolutely clear-cut a falsification of Catholicism as you can possibly get.
It’s especially interesting that he was condemned (in the edict) not for teaching Copernicanism, but for believing it.
