On another list I recently posted the following, which is relevant to
Derek's comment: Should Galileo have been prosecuted?. The philosopher Paul
Feyerabend said "The Church at the time of Galileo kept much more closely to
reason than did Galileo himself, and she took into consideration the ethical
and social consequences of Galileo's teaching too. Her verdict against
Galileo was rational and just."
