Ecclesiastic, ecclesiastical authorities, contrary, ecclesia



Francis Picabia





Galileo, born in Pisa in 1564, is considered one of the fathers of modern science due to his studies in physics, mathematics and particularly astronomy, where he led great advances in developing the telescope.1564年生於比薩的伽利略因其在物理、數學,以及特別在天文學的研究,而被認為是一名現代科學之父;在天文領域,他促使望遠鏡的發展有長足進步。

For 95 years after his death, ecclesiastical authorities refused to allow Galileo to be buried in consecrated ground because his findings were considered contrary to the teachings of the Catholic church. His body now lies in Florence’s Santa Croce church, opposite the tomb of Michelangelo.在伽利略死後長達95年,教會當權者拒絕讓他下葬於聖地,因為他的發現被認為與天主教教會的教導相牴觸。他的遺體現在長眠於佛羅倫斯的聖十字教堂,對面就是米開朗基羅的墓地。
