The Bible focuses primarily on Earth and humanity's relationship with God. Other planets were not known or understood at the time the Bible was written, so there is no mention of them in its texts.

Galileo was not a moral relativist; he believed in objective truths and tried to reconcile his scientific findings with his faith in God. While he did face opposition from the Catholic Church due to his findings, he did not reject God or his faith.

Galileo made the Roman Catholic Church mad by supporting the heliocentric theory proposed by Copernicus, which went against the Church's geocentric view of the universe. He was also asked not to teach or promote heliocentrism but continued to defend it publicly, leading to his trial and condemnation by the Church for heresy in 1633.

Copernicus promoted the heliocentric theory, which suggested that the Earth revolves around the sun, rather than the Earth being the center of the universe as taught by the Catholic Church. This contradicted the geocentric model that had been widely accepted for centuries.

The Roman Catholic Church opposed Copernicus's book "On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres" because it presented a heliocentric view of the universe, challenging the established geocentric model supported by the Church. The Church viewed this as contradicting scripture and potentially undermining its authority. The book was eventually banned until amendments were made to it to align with Church doctrine.

The Catholic Church banned Copernicus' book "On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres" because it presented a heliocentric view of the universe contradicting the geocentric view held by the Church at the time. This new perspective challenged the Church's teachings and authority on matters related to science and cosmology.

Galileo's view that the Earth revolves around the Sun contradicted the established geocentric model supported by the Catholic Church at the time. The Church believed Galileo's heliocentric theory challenged the teachings of the Bible and was considered heretical. Galileo was pressured by the Church to renounce his views to avoid punishment, which led to his house arrest for the remainder of his life.

The Catholic Church opposed the heliocentric theory proposed by Nicolaus Copernicus, which suggested that the Earth revolves around the Sun, because it challenged the widely held geocentric view that the Earth was the center of the universe. This opposition was due to the conflict between the heliocentric theory and the Church's interpretation of Scripture at the time.

Yes. I was born on the Wednesday before Easter in 1943. My birthday date is April 21. April 25 is the latest that Easter falls for Christians except in the Orthodox church when it can fall even later. I think my neighbor told me that Passover has to occur before her church celebrates Easter.

Father,

I am writing from North Bend on the Oregon coast. I have an odd question for you. I recently received two crucifixes from a friend that have an inscription on the back which reads CnACNNCOXPAHN (I believe there should be a space in there somewhere) . I have burned up the internet trying to find its meaning. A greek speaking acquaintance thinks it is Russian abbreviation which would be supported by some other sites that discuss it as being a Russian or Byzantine style crucifix. Do you happen to know its meaning? My Catholic priest and 3 deacons have no idea. I Googled Russian Orthodox churches to come up with your contact info. Thank you and best regards.

The Catholic Church accepted the heliocentric theory in the 19th century following scientific developments and further understanding of the solar system. Initially, there was resistance to this theory due to conflicting interpretations with scripture and traditional views.

The Catholic Church initially resisted new ideas in astronomy, such as heliocentrism proposed by Galileo, due to conflicting with biblical interpretation. Galileo was eventually condemned and forced to recant his views under threat of excommunication. However, over time, the Church's stance evolved, and in 1992, Pope John Paul II issued an apology for the way Galileo was treated.
