Anyone interested in historical truth, the relationship between faith and reason, and the history of the Catholic Church's sponsorship and promotion of scientific research and discovery needs to read this book!

This book includes a bibliography on Galileo for further reading; "Faith Can Never Conflict with Reason" an address by Pope John Paul II to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences; a letter from Galileo to the Grand Duchess Christina of Tuscany; "Scientists are Rediscovering God" an interview with Cardinal Paul Poupard; "Journalists' Jubilee Calls for Examination of Conscience" an article on the need for forgiveness of vices within the news media; and finally, a short review test covering the basic information contained in this book.

The story of Galileo is used continually by non-Catholics and anti-Christians to attack the Church. Every Catholic needs to know the true story, to be able to defend the faith and re-educate those who have been led astray by false accusations and misunderstandings.

Learn what happened to Galileo - and what did not happen - and WHY.
