Galileo's 'The House Hesser Firm'

analysis of the complex factors that existed within Galileo’s time period and Brecht’s play. By simply blaming the Roman Catholic Church for not expressing “the truth” to its’ Italian citizens, it is not recognizing the importance of slow integration in order to preserve the largest social class of Italy. Without slow integration, the largest class would disrupt the precarious social fabric Italy was in and erupt in a satrififaction that would most likely destroy Italy and affect the peasantry class the most. It doesn’t recognized the constant fear Italy was facing due to imperialism threats, and the need for internal cohesion for a functioning society. By viewing the Catholic Church as a simple catch-all scapegoat without thinking of the
The House Hesser Firm has brought evidence to show that the Catholic Church did not establish geocentrism using the common definition of establish to mean create. The prosecution debated the definition of establish and was looking at establishing as gaining full recognition or acceptance (“Definition of Establish”).

The Catholic Church was also charged with halting the advancement of science. This can be seen as incorrect as Galileo was reward by a Catholic supported University for his invention of the telescope, which would help advance science. The Catholic Church also helped advance science during the disagreement of geocentrism and heliocentrism with Galileo. Galileo and the Church developed our modern thinking of science that focuses on disproving theories rather than proving them. The Catholic Church, at the time, held authority and kept order for the people in Italy. If the authority of the Church was discredited quickly by Galileo’s findings, there would have been huge consequences in the form of disrupted peace for everyone.

In terms of using the bible to support geocentrism, it only made sense as at the time period there was nothing contrary to the earth being the center of the universe. There was not enough technology or modern methods to show otherwise. With the each part of the charges against the Catholic Church examined carefully, the Hesser House Firm see the defendant not guilty on all
