Galileo and the Church
Galileo and the Church is a skill on Pengi from Lesson 1: The Scientific Revolution in Pengi Social Studies (Grade 7).
Key Concepts
Italian scientist Galileo Galilei built his own Telescope and turned it to the sky. He saw mountains on the moon and moons orbiting Jupiter, visual proof that the universe was not perfect and unchangeable as the ancients claimed.
Galileo published his findings, but they contradicted the Catholic Church’s interpretation of scripture. In 1633, the Inquisition put him on trial for Heresy . Threatened with torture, Galileo was forced to recant (take back) his beliefs and spent the rest of his life under house arrest. His story symbolizes the conflict between religious authority and scientific evidence.
