Only Heretics thinks The Earth Circles the Sun - "And there it was that I found and visited the famous Galileo, grown old, a prisoner to the Inquisition, for thinking in astronomy otherwise than the Franciscan and Dominican licensers thought." John Milton, from Areopagitica (1644)* another book entitled Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems : Ptolemaic and Copernican, Galileo forced the reluctant Church to once again take action. In 1633 Galileo went before the Spanish Inquisition one final time. At his inquisition, Church officials refused to even look through Galileo's telescope. They knew full well that the Devil was capable of making anything illusory and deceptive appear in Galileo's telescope. The Middle finger of Galileo's right hand was . detached from Galileo's hand in 1737 by Anton Francesco Gori and the "Cult of Galileo." It is now on display at the of the Museo di Storia della Scienza in Florence, Italy. On the base the following verse by Thomas Perellius is inscribed: "This is the finger with which the illustrious hand covered the heavens and indicated their immense space. It pointed to new stars with the marvelous instrument, made of glass, and revealed them to the senses. And thus it was able to reach what Titania could never attain." In 1979 Pope John Paul II expressed a desire that the Pontifical Academy of Sciences conduct an in-depth study of the church's case against Galileo. A commission of scholars convened, and they presented their report to the Pope on October 31, 1992. The Roman Catholic Church then finally removed the verdict of heresy against Galileo.

So if he went to hell back then can they reverse the suffering or did God know they were wrong & send him elsewhere?

personally, I believe that Hell is a concept that the Church leaders invented to keep the alleged heretics in line. If the nonsense they are pushing is actually true, they have found a big surprise when they reached the Pearly Gates themselves.    How did that Heretic Galileo manage to get himself a halo and angel wings. Why is he holding that Book of Judgements about them. My Oh My! and who are those Scientists with him. Didn't they get burnt at the stake with the rest of the heretics.  Abracadabra
