   So, what happened to those who committed those crimes, against   
   Galileo, Giordano Bruno and others? Did they die and go to heaven? Or   
   does the Pope’s ruling mean they’ve now been moved to hell?   
      
   Also, what about those Christians who broke away from the Catholic   
   Church? Do they accept that the Pope speaks for them, too? Have they   
   said as much? Or are they still unrepentant about what their   
   predecessors did to Galileo?
