A:
Pope Urban VIII was an intensely superstitious man, little interested in science, although he was willing to believe what he was told about scientific discoveries, if explained in a way he both understood and accepted. Urban VIII relied on magicians for protection from enemies, even having them perform a ceremony to ward off evil spirits, so he was hardly the type of person who would encourage scientific investigation. He also had horoscopes draw up for important figures so as to know exactly when they would die. Subsequently he issued a bull against this practice, as a defence against astrologers who had been employed to predict his own death. Despite these things, he condemned the ideas of Galileo.
