I think the figures running the Inquisition and the counter-reformation at the time of Galileo might have disagreed. Remember the 30 Years War was also ongoing from 1618-1648 during the whole time, a Catholic-Protestant religious conflict that engulfed all of Europe and resulted in 8 million deaths.
Bucking the authority of the Church/inquisition at that time was seen as a serious issue against social order in a way that’s hard for us to understand from a modern perspective.
BTW, I strongly disagree with the this video, but really not sure if YouTube removing it is the right way to do this or will be effective in suppressing virus truthers.
- zumu 6y agoTrue, but Galileo's work was not a direct commentary on said crisis (30 Years War). On the other hand, this "professor" is presenting an analysis of an ongoing crisis and suggesting concrete actions on how it should be handled. > Bucking the authority of the Church/inquisition at that time was seen as a serious issue against social order in a way that’s hard for us to understand from a modern perspective. Exactly my point. You can criticize the powers and be and the social order today with impunity on YouTube.
