Theologians.... failed to grasp the profound non-literal meaning of the Scriptures when they describe the physical structure of the universe. This led them unduly to transpose a question of factual observation into the realm of faith... (and) to a disciplinary measure from which Galileo 'had much to suffer'.

~ Cardinal Paul Poupard (uit 1992, als uitkomst van het onderzoek naar de beroemde rechtzaak van Galileo Galilei in 1633!)
