Question

Who was put on trial in 1633 by contradicting the roman catholic church?

Answer 1

It was Galileo Galili, an Italian inventor/astronomer/mathematician who observed the solar system using a telescope he invented. It was in 1610 that Galili concluded that the planets orbit around the sun, not the earth. In the year 1632, he published his book “Dialogues on the Two Chief Systems of the World” which brought his world of science and humanism into a cosmic conflict with the world of Scholasticism and absolutism (held power in the Catholic Church). On September 23, 1632, he was summoned to Rome by the Inquisition and was put on trial. Following the judgment of the Inquisition, he was forced to renounce his belief in Copernican Theory and the earth’s motion. He was condemned to life imprisonment but was amended to house arrest on the next day.

The aftermath is a tragedy. It marks the end of both Galileo Galili’s freedom and end of the Italian Renaissance.
