Um........... Tom didn't happen to be catholic did he?
That response makes no sense as a reply to anything I've said. "Speak for the Vatican"? What are you talking about?
And I have no idea if Mayer was a Catholic or not. I do know that he was a respected historian whose works are regarded as key scholarly monographs on the subject of early modern Catholic jurisprudence and are widely cited by scholars of this period.
Do you actually have anything of substance to say about the evidence I note above or are weak sneers and attempted slurs all you have? Why are so many people here so weirdly irrational?
The website I posted states that archives indicate that he was being questioned (and responding) with regards to science.
I don't think I care about early modern catholic jurisprudence, but I do care about bias.
So tell us exactly what he was condemned for. All bet it included some positions against the supernatural claims of the church. As far as I'm concerned, that in itself (the supernatural) is antiscience.
I really don't about all of this. You seem to like talking down to atheists about getting facts wrong (in your opinion). All religion is based on a falsehood. Any acts done in the name of religion should also be considered in that light.
Like I indicated in an earlier post, the catholic position is that they didn't kill anyone for heresy, the killing was all done by "others".
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
