LYCOS RETRIEVER 
Galileo: Holy Office
built 629 days ago
Galileo, who hears snippets of ancient rock lyrics in his head, is quickly recognized as their messiah, destined to lead them to the Holy Grail, a sacred electric guitar buried in the archeological ruins of Wembley Stadium, the former rock-concert mecca. They find it, naturally, and the whole edifice of Globalsoft somehow comes tumbling down. Rhapsody realized. Freedom trumps repression. Individuality conquers conformity.

The Galileo case had, of course, been long settled when in 1981 Pope John Paul II asked that a pontifical commission study the Ptolemaic-Copernican controversy of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. What was the purpose of revisiting the controversy? As Cardinal Poupard explained in the commission’s report to the Holy Father, "It was not a question of conducting a retrial but of undertaking a calm, objective reflection, taking into account the historical and cultural context."25

No ecumenical council met concerning Galileo, and the pope was not at the center of the discussions, which were handled by the Holy Office. When the Holy Office finished its work, Urban VIII ratified its verdict, but did not attempt to engage infallibility.
