Galileo now a Vatican hero

Posted on March 10th, 2008 in Freedom & Rights, History, Italy by michele

Looks like a statue of Galileo Galilei is to be erected inside the Vatican walls, as reported by TimesOnline. So maybe the Catholic Church really wants to close the discussion about the great scientist and his Inquisition trial by clearly recognizing his great figure. There has recently been a lot of discussion on this topic, specifically on statements by the current Pope (the-Pope-formerly-known-as-Ratzinger).
