Description
"The Roman Church has never erred, nor will it err to all eternity. No one may be considered a Catholic Christian who does not agree with the Catholic Church. No book is authoritative unless it has received the papal sanction..." From the Dictatus of Pope Gregory VII (1073-1085)

"The first proposition, that the sun is the center and does not revolve about the earth, is foolish, absurd, false in theology, and heretical, because contrary to Holy Scripture...the second proposition, that the earth is not the center but revolves about the sun, is absurd, false in philosophy, and, from a theological point of view at least, opposed to the true faith." 1615 Inquisition pronouncement, quoted in Andrew Dickson White's A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology Volume 1, 1978, Peter Smith Publisher, Inc. Glouchester, Mass. page 137.

"The opinion of the earth's motion is of all heresies the most abominable, the most pernicious, the most scandalous; the immovability of the earth is thrice sacred; argument against the immortality of the soul, the existence of God, and the incarnation, should be tolerated sooner than the argument to prove that the earth moves." Jesuit Father Melchior Inchofer (1631), quoted in A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology Volume 1, page 139.
