Vatican Science Panel Told By Pope: Galileo Was Right Published: November 01, 1992 Moving formally to rectify a wrong, Pope John Paul II acknowledged in a speech today that the Roman Catholic Church had erred in condemning Galileo 359 years ago for asserting that the Earth revolves around the Sun. The address by the Pope before the Pontifical Academy of Sciences closed a 13-year investigation into the Church's condemnation of Galileo in 1633, one of history's most notorious conflicts between faith and science. Galileo was forced to recant his scientific findings to avoid being burned at the stake and spent the remaining eight years of his life under house arrest. John Paul said the theologians who condemned Galileo did not recognize the formal distinction between the Bible and its interpretation. "This led them unduly to transpose into the realm of the doctrine of the faith, a question which in fact pertained to scientific investigation. Though the Pope acknowledged that the Church had done Galileo a wrong, he said the 17th-century theologians were only working with the knowledge available to them at the time.
