   the purposes of telling time and things like planetary motion that he   
   left restrictions on questioning the beliefs of the Church Fathers in   
   place.  The anti geocentrists quoted the entire decree and could only   
   say that the remaining restrictions were never stated in the document.   
   The Pope only wrote that authors had to ask the church offices to   
   determine if what they wanted to publish was not restricted.  Isn't that   
   nuts?  That was nearly 2 centuries after Galileo was convicted and the   
   church still could not admit that they were wrong about that.  It took   
   until 1992 for the Pope to formally apologize for the mishandling of the   
   Galileo case, and admitted that it was due to scriptural interpretation,   
   and the improper interpretation of a scientific matter as a threat to faith.

   Your side of the issue is the one concentrating on ass saving instead of   
   dealing with reality.  All your Church theologians and reputable   
   historians should know that the Church Fathers were all geocentrists,   
   and that should be the end of this story.  They were just wrong about   
   what scripture told them about the world.  The Inquisition heresy issue   
   is due to their interpretation of scripture.

   Why lie about getting all those links last time?  They had a whole web   
   site and I got multiple links from that web site.  You just denied   
   reality and ran.   
      
   Look what you are still doing.
