ROME (AP) -- A Florence museum says two fingers and a tooth believed to
belong to Galileo Galilei have been found and will go on display next
spring.
Three fingers and a tooth were taken from the astronomer's body in 1737
and placed in a container.
Paolo Galluzzi, director of the Museum of the History of Science, said a
private collector had bought a container at auction containing two
fingers and a tooth. The collector contacted Florence cultural officials
and the parts and the container were found to match descriptions of the
Galileo relics in historical documents.
The fingers, from the right hand, and the tooth, will be shown to the
public next spring.
Galileo, who died in 1642, was branded a heretic by the Vatican for
saying the Earth revolved around the Sun. In the early 1990s, Pope John
Paul II rehabilitated him.

Falls a bit short of admitting that Galileo was right and Urban VIII
was rather less than infallible.

"And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed,
which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the
fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat."
--Genesis 1:29
Warning, the above Gen. 1:29 quote is VOID where prohibited by
Government!
"Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their
sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts."
--Rev. 9:21
Rev. 9:21 must have had the United States in mind (endless wars
abroad: "murder", the income tax/: "theft", and sorceries: "phony fiat paper
money and credit from the banksters") when it was written.

An allegedly learned priest in Chicago wrote a defense of the treatment
of Galileo sometime around 1980, which is when I read it. As I recall,
he claimed that the church had been (and remained) correct because
Galileo had not followed the guidelines for research then currently
established by the church. So, having clearly violated church law,
Galileo remained guilty.
Just friggin' insane.

I'm surprised he didn't include a defence of the Inquisition and its
excesses, since the same church officials initiated those as well.

How can you possibly compare the lying, theiving, murdering
Clintons with an honest pol such as Ron Paul?
Rep. Paul even refuses the stolen Medicare money he 'should' take
as a medical doctor, compared to almost all other doctors.

Rehabilitated him? Now they'll have the opportunity to clone him!

Which is probably another violation of church doctrine, so they'll have
opportunity to try him again <g>.

I know the RC Church prohibits cloning.
What I don't know is what they'd do in the case of a woman
pregnant with a clone who wanted an abortion.
