Infallibility huh?

It is Galileo Galilei's birthdate - and from Oxford Reference Online:

"At the first interrogation, Galileo denied that his book defended the earth's motion, claiming instead that it showed the geokinetic arguments to be inconclusive. There followed an out-of-court meeting during which he was persuaded to plead guilty to this charge in exchange for leniency. At the next deposition he admitted having defended the earth's motion but insisted that he did so unintentionally. The trial concluded with a sentence that did not exhibit the promised leniency: the cardinal-inquisitors, instructed by the Pope, found Galileo guilty of “vehement suspicion of heresy,” an intermediate category of theological crime; forced him to recite an abjuration, expressing sorrow and cursing his errors; sentenced him to indefinite house arrest; and banned the Dialogue."

And now they've apologised, over 350 years later. Makes you wonder how much else 'they've' got wrong, or are getting wrong. Let's not get me started.
