RE: Galileo was wrong!

>A few Catholics still insist Galileo was wrong - latimes.com

It was a ROTFLMAO piece for me. It was really fun to see how both Notre Dame
and the Vatican Observatory were in the "are these guy real?" mode. I gave
my first paper at a high energy physics symposium at Notre Dame, and saw the
head of the Vatican Observatory and Steven Weinberg give a presentation on
Science and Faith together.  

It's funny, when you think about it.  A Protestant can rail against every
other church and found his own church.  But if you're an ultraconservative
Catholic, how in the world do you argue that the Pope is dead wrong on the
important issues?  Liberal Catholics can be anti-traditional, but how can
you be an ubertraditonalist that says tradition is horribly wrong. :-)
