Nearly two centuries later, however, the weight of scientific evidence was so overwhelming that the College of Cardinals finally reversed itself and allowed the teaching of heliocentrism. Still, it would take another 170 years, until 1992, for a pope – in this case, John Paul II – to officially concede that, yes, the Earth isn't stationary in the heavens.

"Pope John Paul II..."

Nope, John Paul II...

Fail

3. You have claimed that the Church adopted alleged heresy, no?

1. Not a good sign that you will not answer direct, simple, "y/n" questions.
2. Let's try again, any response other than a literal, verbatim "yes" being taken as a "no".

Do you profess to hold to the Catholic faith?

Now, I'll give you that surely not owed.

1. There is no need to dispute that which has not been shown clearly to be; it's a bit foolish to be candid, somewhat like shooting at the Closet Monster. What I question is this very thing, whether THE Church did as you say.
2. JPII is only relevent to the faith in a similar fashion as Martin Lucifer.
3. "There is no disputing..." see "1"

Oh, not that it's particularly relevant, but I barely cleared public school; how about you?

Don't feel alone..... I can't really say I barely cleared, I think they just got sick of me...

Pope John Paul II himself turned up Saturday for a meeting of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences to help set the record straight on behalf of the 17th-Century Italian mathematician, astronomer and physicist who was the first man to use a telescope and who is remembered as one of history's greatest scientists.
"The underlying problems of this case concern both the nature of science and the message of faith," the Pope noted. "One day we may find ourselves in a similar situation, which will require both sides to have an informed awareness of the field and of the limits of their own competencies."
Thirteen years after he appointed it, a commission of historic, scientific and theological inquiry brought the Pope a "not guilty" finding for Galileo, who, at age 69 in 1633, was forced to repent by the Roman Inquisition and spent the last eight years of his life under house arrest.
The commission found that Galileo's clerical judges acted in good faith but rejected his theories because they were "incapable of dissociating faith from an age-old cosmology"--the biblical vision of the Earth as the center of the universe. "God fixed the Earth upon its foundation, not to be moved forever," says one Bible verse contradicted by Galileo's pioneering notion that the Earth spins daily on its axis and makes an annual journey around the sun.
Unable to comprehend a non-literal reading of Scripture, according to the commission, the judges feared that if Galileo's ideas were taught, they would undermine Catholic tradition at a time when it was under attack by Protestant reformers such as Martin Luther and John Calvin.
"This subjective error of judgment, so clear to us today, led them to a disciplinary measure from which Galileo 'had much to suffer.' These mistakes must be frankly recognized, as you, Holy Father, have requested," Cardinal Paul Poupard, the commission chairman, told the Pope.

"Unable to comprehend a non-literal reading of scripture [...].."

Gee...where have we heard that before...."unable to comprehend a non-literal meaning of scripture".....let's see...I know....we've heard that from the Modernists. They hate literal readings of scripture. Especially Pope Francis.
