father I'm afraid don't show your

feelings we're not going home

again to the glass cutters I've arranged

with him cars ready to take us away at

any time mr. Galileo Galilei His

Highness has just charged me to inform

you at the Florentine Court and no

longer opposed the request of the Holy

Inquisition to interrogate you in Rome

the carriage of the Holy Inquisition is

waiting

no no no doctors of all the faculties

representatives of all the religious

orders of the entire clergy who've come

believing with Gerald lack faith in the

Word of God has set forth in the

scriptures who have come to hear your

holiness confirmed their faith and your

holiness is really going to tell them

that the Bible can no longer be regarded

as the alphabet of truth I would not set

myself up against the multiplication

table no it is what these people say

that it is only the multiplication table

their cry is the figures compel us but

where do the figures come from plainly

they come from doubt these people doubt

everything concise artists stand on

doubt instead of on faith you are my

master there's a good arrangement this

is your house your white doctor they

shouldn't be mine

after the plague after the new war not

the unparalleled disaster of the

Reformation your dwindling flock is

looking to its Shepherd

now these worms of mathematicians choose

this moment turn their tubes upon the

sky and announce the joy holiness is not

the best advice but the heavens either

this man is the greatest physicist of

our time he is the life of Italy not

just some crank would we have had to

arrest him otherwise Aristotle

when these renegades otherwise regard as

a dead dog said if the shuttle would

have weave by itself masters would no

longer need apprentices no Lord's

servants believe this times come this

evil man knows what he's doing

when he writes his books not in Latin

but in the language of iron founders and

fishwives well it's certainly not in the

best of taste I'll mention it to him

but seaports in northern Italy keep

insisting they must have Galileo star

charts we shall have to give in there

are material interests involved but the

star charts are based on his heretical

teachings we cannot dam the teachings

are still useless ourselves otherwise

all those shuffling feet make me nervous

may they be more telling than my words

your holiness shall all these go from

you was doubt in their hearts but this

man has friends

what about France what about the

Viennese Court they will call the church

a cesspool of defunct ideas keep your

hands off him we shouldn't have to go

he's a man of the flesh

Oh gave in very quickly likes eating

drinking and thinking more than any man

I ever knew he gets pleasure out of

everything even his thinking is central

he indulges in thinking bouts I never

say no to an old wine or a new idea I

don't want any condemnation of physical

facts I don't want to hear any battle

cries of chirstchurch stress reason

reason reason

I gave him leave to write his book

unconditioned it ended by saying the

last word is not with science but with

faith because complied but how these

quotes sure is a simple didn't founding

the opinions of Aristotle an intelligent

man expressing Galileo's refusal and who

makes the concluding remark but who

states our opinion not the intelligent

one how these shuffling feet are

intolerable as the whole world come to

me at the very most he may be shown the

instruments yet will be enough your

headings

mr. Galilei understands machine

23 days the Pope hasn't even granted him

an audience

no more scientific discussions the

discourses some of his findings will

never be finished he'll kill him

do you really think so he'll never

recant

you know when you lie awake at night

last night I kept thinking if only

they'd let him take his little stone in

with him they appeal to reason pebble

that he always carries in his pocket in

the room they'll be taking him to people

don't wear pockets they will dare and if

they do

he'll never how could maybe the truth is

plain but he will recant leave her alone

she doesn't know whether she's on the

head or a heel since they talked to her

they brought her confessor from Florence

mr. Galilei will be here soon you may

need a bed has he been released

mr. Galilei is expected to recant at

five o'clock

as soon as he recants the big bell of

Santa Maria will be run and the complete

text of his recantation publicly

announced I don't believe it

mr. Galilei will be brought here to the

back of the embassy to avoid the crowds

collecting in the street

and has been all active it sir

Venus has no light of its own either

like the earth

it moves round the Sun four moons of

Jupiter which is as far away as the

stars to any Nobel talked to the hour

all right so force isn't stupidity isn't

invincible man in the face of death June

the 22nd

1633 the dawn of the age of reason I

wouldn't have wanted to go on living if

he'd recanted I didn't say anything but

I was in agony oh ye of little faith

I was sure I was sure it would have been

as if the day had turned back tonight

again as if the mountain said I am water

thank God

don't Totten humanity can lift its head

for what man I stood up and said

the center of the universe and

motionless and the earth is not the

center and not motionless I fall swear

this teaching with a sincere heart and

unfaded faith and I abjure condemn and

execute this and all other errors and

heresies contrary to the teaching of

Holy Church the mountain turn to water I

can't
