Point of clarification: The doctrine of papal infallibility was
promulgated on July 18, 1870, a full 456 years or so after Galileo
began publishing.

Galileo. As to the Galileo affair, it is quite enough to point out the
fact that the condemnation of the heliocentric theory was the work of a
fallible tribunal. The pope cannot delegate the exercise of his
infallible authority to the Roman Congregations, and whatever issues
formally in the name of any of these, even when approved and confirmed
in the ordinary official way by the pope, does not pretend to be ex
cathedra and infallible. The pope, of course, can convert doctrinal
decisions of the Holy Office, which are not in themselves infallible,
into ex cathedra papal pronouncements, but in doing so he must comply
with the conditions already explained -- which neither Paul V nor Urban
VIII did in the Galileo case.
