Today’s featured entry from the Vatican Observatory Faith and Science pages:

“Galileo in Rome: The Rise and Fall of a Troublesome Genius” (CLICK HERE for it)

This 2004 book by William Shea and Mariano Artigas, published by Oxford University Press, discusses Galileo in the framework of the six trips he took to Rome in his lifetime. A focus of the book is his relationship with Maffeo Barbarini, who became Pope Urban VIII, and how Barbarini’s support for Galileo turned to opposition and anger (CLICK HERE to continue).


The Faith and Science pages (F&S) are a unique resource on the web. The material in F&S is stuff that you will find nowhere else (or at least not without a lot of digging). Featured areas on F&S include “History of Church and Science”; “Church and Science Today”; “Science and Scripture”; “Science, Religion & Society”; “Life in the Universe”; “Cosmology”; and more. The level of the F&S material ranges from being accessible to all audiences, with even some material oriented toward young readers, up to material for university specialists.

The F&S pages, like this blog, are made possible by the Vatican Observatory Foundation (the Vatican Observatory’s US operation that operates the Vatican Advanced Technology Telescope, or VATT, in Arizona). CLICK HERE to support the F&S pages, this blog, and the operation of the VATT.
