Why did pope john paul say the church's treatment of galileo was wrong

History

Tanya [424]2 years ago

Well, the whole reason why Galileo had been treated so badly by the Catholic Church was because his findings contradicted the established Church canon. Galileo was questioning the Church, and, therefore, the Pope. And the Pope was seen as God's representative on Earth. So, for Galileo to question the Pope, it was like he was questioning God, and that's a big no-no with the Catholic Church.

Later, Pope John Paul admitted that the Church's treatment of Galileo had been unfair. That, in doing so, the Church had attempted to censor science itself. And you don't censor science!

Cause that's just not cool :)

What is an acceptable reason for a new federal bureaucratic organization to
Vilka [71]

An acceptable reason for a new federal bureaucratic organization to  be created as an independent executive agency is that the Congress wants to limit the president's influence over it.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

The independent agency in the United States of America is an agency which is created outside the traditional structure of federal government departments, as a part of the Cabinet of the President. The bureaucratic organization in United States has two masters, one the Congress and the other the President.

The Independent executive agency though report to the President, it does not directly depend on the President decision precisely to pursue the independence of the agency in operation of the executives which serves the nation.

Environmental Protection Agency, Federal Communications Commission,  Central Intelligence Agency, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration are all examples of such independent agencies which are not directly under control of President and so Congress limits the influence as well.
