Éphéméride 1992: Le Vatican réhabilite Galilée
La révolution copernicienne – La réhabilitation historique de Galilée, « père de la science moderne », par le non moins célèbre Pape saint Jean-Paul II, vers la fin du XXème siècle

In February-March 1616, the Catholic Church issued a prohibition against the Copernican theory of the earth’s motion. This led later (1633) to the Inquisition trial and condemnation of Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) as a suspected heretic.
