Abridged Version
By Dr. Robert Sungenis · 2010 · ISBN 978-0-9841859-4-8
Three questions open this one. Did the Catholic Church make a grand and embarrassing mistake when it condemned the heliocentric system under Pope Urban VIII in 1633 as formally heretical and opposed to Scripture? Has modern science in fact proven heliocentrism? Did John Paul II officially concede that Galileo was right and the Church wrong? The answer given to each is no.
The full Galileo Was Wrong runs to three volumes and well over a thousand pages, which is more than most readers will take on. This is the same case at 713 pages, divided about evenly between the science and the ecclesiastical history, in a 6 by 9 paperback. The unabridged volumes cover the observational and experimental evidence, the scriptural passages, the consensus of the Fathers and the acts of the popes and councils; the essential facts and figures of all of it are distilled here.
