Background:
Having decided that Galileo Galilei had committed heresy, for refusing to accept Church orthodoxy that the Earth was the immovable center of the universe, and that the Sun revolved around the Earth, an absolute fact of scripture that could not be disputed, the Church issued the following order:
We pronounce, judge, and declare, that you, the said Galileo Galilei… have rendered yourself vehemently suspected by this Holy Office of heresy, that is, of having believed and held the doctrine, which is false and contrary to the Holy and Divine Scriptures, that the sun is the center of the world, and that it does not move from east to west, and that the earth does move, and is not the center of the world.
Galileo’s sentence, issued in 1633 was as follows:
We order that by a public edict the book of Dialogues of Galileo Galilei be prohibited, and We condemn thee to the prison of this Holy Office during Our will and pleasure; and as a salutary penance We enjoin on thee that for the space of three years thou shalt recite once a week the Seven Penitential Psalms.
