Who can pass on a meme depicting a low point in Catholicism that's turned into a relevant current topic??
For you inquiring minds, pun intended, this painting shows Galileo and the Roman Inquisition defending the Copernican model of the solar system with the sun in the center of our system, and not the earth. He was forced to recant all of his work that agreed with Copernicus and spent the remainder of his life under house arrest. The Church, under Pope John Paul II, spent 13 years investigating this in the 1990s and finally apologized to him on Halloween in 1992. I wonder if the Papal Edict said, "Trick or Treat??"
