Galileo Galilei's legendary dilemma and the circumstances surrounding it are presented in Bertolt Brecht's Galileo from a perspective that is clearly criticizing institutions with such controlóin this case, the Catholic churchówhile reminding us that

For much of their history, Catholics viewed abortions performed prior to the point that the fetus first moves as permissible and tolerable (Flanders 29). It was not until 1960 that Pope John Paul VI forbade all abortions, therapeutic or otherwise (30). Only surgery to save the mother’s life is morally sanctioned by the Catholic Church (30).

God was wise in his decisions once again, and had chosen Peter to be the ‘Prince of the Apostles’ for a reason, because the good (new) Catholic was obedient and took up his cross, becoming the first Pope ever. According to Bishop Mark J.

Catholic Church, I would predict several different cultures and ethnicities joining under one roof for a formal gathering along with a priest to worship someone or something. “Distinctive Roman Catholic beliefs include the special authority of the pope, the ability of saints to intercede on behalf of believers, the concept of purgatory as a place of afterlife purification before entering heaven, and the doctrine of transubstantiation” (Catholicism, 3).
