The Catholic Church is making a nusisance of itself and making it appear that US freedom of religion was a great mistake. Of course, there was much evidence of the errors and ignorance of religions of all kinds hundreds of years ago.
The Catholic inquisition seems to have had a lot in common with Islamicists blowing up babies, stoning women, de-sexing women all in the name of having access to 40 virgins in paradise. Not sure if they are intent on getting all those barefoot virgins pregnant or not in paradise or just engage in consensual sex for the pure hell of it.
Anyway, those of you who never cast your evil eyes on PBS and see such programs as NOVA, you may find interesting the links below related to Galileo.

Religious mythology benefits from separation of church and state. Rationality and government benefit from separation of church and state.
Beware Republicans desiring to turn the world back to 1633. Always beware Catholic bishops if you are not Catholic...or if you are female of any religion or political persuasion or anyone in need of medical care without financial means.
