big party 250 guests mr. Galilei

the first carnival after the years of

the plague all the great families of

Italy are represented here this evening

your Sini's the grand not tease the past

serious greedy's the last Ricard tease

their eminences cardinals Bellarmine and

Barberini

your eminence mr. Galan a gardener

barbarian the Sun also arises and the

Sun girth down and haste earth to his

place where he arose thus says Solomon

what says Galilei your eminence

when I was so high I remember standing

on a ship and when he pulled off I

shouted the shore is moving away but I

know now it was the ship that was moving

away from the shore

you can't catch you unfortunately for me

I glanced at a few papers on astronomy

once and it's harder to get rid of than

the itch we must move with the times

barbarian age if it makes navigation

easier to use new charts based upon a

new hypothesis let's use them

we need only Scott doctrines that

contradict holy people holy writ oldest

corn the Proverbs a prudent man

concealed its knowledge

where no oxen are the crib is clean but

much increase is by the strength of the

Ox

he that rule if a spirit is better than

he that taketh the broken spirit drives

the bones death not wisdom cry

can one go up on hot coals and his feet

not be burned

welcome to Rome friend Galilei you will

recall the story of the founding of the

city two little boys found shelter and

sustenance with a she-wolf and from that

day we've paid the price for the

she-wolves milk but the place is not

fair and we have everything for your

pleasure from a scholarly debate with my

friend Bellarmine two ladies of

international repute would you like to

meet one

no he prefers a serious discussion very

well

are you sure friend gala day that you

astronomers I'm just trying to make

astronomy easier for yourselves you

speak in terms of circles ellipses and

uniform velocities simple movements that

the human mind can grasp a very

convenient that suppose Almighty God had

taken it into his head to make the Stars

move like that

what will become of your calculations

then your eminence if God had created

the world like this he would have made

our minds like this so that we could

grasp it i believe in reason i can see

the reason inadequate he's too polite to

tell me he considers mine inadequate

well what is one to do with him

butter wouldn't melt in his mouth oh he

wants to prove is that God made a few

mistakes in astronomy God didn't work

hard enough before he composed early my

dear friend don't put anything down this

is a scientific discussion among friends

don't you think it likely the creator

knows more about his work than the

created man may miss read not only the

heavenly bodies of the Bible as well the

interpretation of the Bible it's a

matter for the ministers of God who

don't answer tonight the Holy Office has

decided that the theory of Copernicus

according to which the earth moves wrong

the Sun his false absurd and heretical I

am charged mr. Galilei to admonish you

to relinquish

his Eminence Cardinal Bellarmine to the

aforesaid Galileo Galilei the Holy

Office has decided that the theory of

Copernicus according to which the earth

goes round the Sun is foolish absurd and

heretical I am charged mr. Galilei to

admonish you to relinquish this opinion

the Collegium roman whom confirmed my

observations yes they were most

complimentary to you Jupiter the phases

of Venus the Holy Office formulated its

decree without taking these particulars

into account in other words the future

of all scientific research is completely

completely assured mr. Galilei it is not

given to a man to know the truth but it

has granted him to seek after the truth

science is the legitimate and beloved

daughter of the church she must have

confidence in the church be realistic

when Galilei and social we we need you

more than you need us abrini it's time

we introduced Italy's most discussed

scientists masks

did you get his last sentence yes if you

got what he said about believing in

reason do you take this

well my daughter may I congratulate you

on your betrothal your young man comes

from distinguished family will be

staying on in room so you're

accompanying your father back to

Florence that's repeated Mattox is a

cold housewife your youth warms up there

he doesn't talk to me about the stars

here evidence no they don't eat fish in

the fisherman's has it seems my child

that God has blessed our modern

astronomers with imagination it's

getting quite alarming compared to their

picture of the world our old pictures

such as might hang runs Nick the

gentleman of the Holy Office so worried

that a predator in the Cardinal might

get lost in such enormous spaces the

Almighty might even lose sight of the

Pope himself even so my child I'm get

know that you will be staying with your

eminent father we all held highest

esteem

I wonder do I know your father confessor

Giacomo syndicalism Florence really

my dear child your father will need you

not so much now

you are pure

strength in purity greatness is

sometimes often too heavy a button for

those to whom what man is so great he

has no place in a prayer and I'm afraid

that your father will never forgive me

for holding fast to about astronomy

and remember me to father Jack
