One of the truly nice things about working at a Catholic school is that this doesn’t come up. Ironically enough, given Galileo’s troubles with the Church.

Have you read Koestler’s “The Sleepwalkers”? He explains GG’s troubles as an accidental intrusion into a struggle between the Dominicans and the current Pope. IIRC, he was having dinners with the Pope while under ecclesiastical house arrest.
