Come on, now, folks, have some patience. The Vatican only admitted Galileo was right something like 680 years after the fact. These folks need time to deal with the basic facts- they’re still trying to get their heads around the atomic theory of matter (“How does Jayzus hold all them protons together”?).

The Vatican conceded that Galileo was right 350 years after he died. (Galileo died: 1642, Vatican concession: 1992), and more than 370 years after the controversy first began.

680 years before 1992 would’ve been 1312, more than 250 years before Galileo was even born.
