Galileo and the Roman Church. Also, how did the Scientific Revolution occur in opposition

“It vexes me when they would constrain science by the authority of the Scriptures, and yet do not consider themselves bound to answer reason and experiment.”

“I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.”

– Galileo Galilei (1615), Letter to the grand duchess Christina
