6. It's true that Galileo was punished a long time ago
Edited on Tue Apr-13-10 06:17 PM by Ken Burch
However, the Church only officially cleared him of wrongdoing in the 1990's.

It's possible that Father Scahill will be excommunicated now and canonized a couple of centuries down the road. It's often gone that way with the really interesting martyrs.

BTW, does anybody know if the good father is related to Jeremy Scahill? It would be wicked cool if they turned out to be brothers or something.
