Well said.
An interesting note: I forget where, but one source that I read recently pointed out that the Catholic church didn’t persecute Galileo because they were anti-science. Rather, the political facet of the church (at that time the R.C. Church was as powerful as any state) had adopted Ptolemaic astronomy as the “official” scientific worldview. Galileo just wasn’t PC.
