RIGHT IN THE END!
Sometimes we take a stand in life
on an issue with whitch others
disagree. And sometimes that
stand can get us in trouble! It can
happen to anyone. Even very prominent
people. Take the man we consider to be
the father of modern astronomy. The man
many consider to be the father of modern
physics. Galileo! He was the man who
discovered the rings around Saturn. He
subscribed to the theory that the earth
rotated around the sun, rather than the
sun rotating around earth. That belief
got him into hot water with the Catholic
Church. On this very date in 1615
Galileo was brought before an
inqusition and was found to be
"vehemently suspect of heresy."
and was forced to recant. He spent
the rest of his life under house arrrest.
Of course the Vatican eventyally
admitted Galileo was right, On October
31sr of 1992 Pope John Paul II acknowledged
the Church had erred in condemning Galileo.
Hope you stick by your guns and that all
your NEWS is good!
