[Note from DP: Here you will find the Jesuit author's insistence on calling this episode of history "The Galileo Affair" -- rather than what it was, a reign of terror, torture and murder perpetuated by the power structures of the Catholic Church. Please note my resistance to the Church's 20th c. refusal to accept responsibility and to make reparations for the violence perpetrated by the Inquisitions during the Reformation.]
