Default Good heavens: Vatican rehabilitating Galileo

Here is a very interesting article about the Vatican rehabilitating Galileo's image from a heretic, to a man of faith and reason.

Quote:
At a Vatican conference last month entitled "Science 400 Years after Galileo Galilei," the Vatican No. 2, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, said Galileo was an astronomer, but one who "lovingly cultivated his faith and his profound religious conviction."

"Galileo Galilei was a man of faith who saw nature as a book authored by God," Bertone said.

It's nice to see a wrong righted by the Vatican.

Bright Blessings...
