…undeniably a heresy, the sentence banned Galileo's book and the heliocentric books, including the older one by Copernicus, remained officially banned by the Church for centuries afterwards: "Copernicus's De Revolutionibus and Galileo's Dialogue were then subsequently omitted from the next edition of the Index [of the prohibited books by the Catholic church] when it appeared in 1835."

> 他在哥白尼《天体运行论》（De revolutionibus）卷首添加的“致读者信”（ad lectorum），称人们可以将日心说假说仅仅视为一种数学模型，而不必当成宇宙的真实表现。但是，参考系的选择是任意的。给太阳系建模……

……这场宗教与科学之间宏大的摩尼教式对决，不过是心胸狭隘之人地域纷争的副产品。哥白尼——一位受过古典教育的神职人员——由于害怕竞争对手天文学家的敌意而迟迟不愿出版《天体运行论》（De Revolutionibus）（尽管教会对“哪块石头绕着哪块石头转”这种在神学上无关紧要的事毫无教义层面的兴趣，但保禄三世和冯……枢机主教……

……根本不是因为日心说本身，而是天主教会为了保护自己的威信。另见维基百科词条里的这句话：“禁书目录圣部的法令禁止了哥白尼的《天体运行论》和其他日心说著作，直到予以修正为止。贝拉明枢机主教的指令并未禁止伽利略将日心说作为数学和哲学构想来讨论，只要他不公开倡导……

……不可否认这属于异端，判决查禁了伽利略的书，而包括哥白尼更早著作在内的日心说书籍，在此后数个世纪里依然正式处于教会的禁令之下：“哥白尼的《天体运行论》和伽利略的《对话录》随后在1835年出版的下一版天主教《禁书目录》中才被移除。”这距离判决已经过去了202年。……

……反映了现实。直到1750年代，教会才开始正式接纳日心说，当时他们取消了针对日心说书籍的全面禁令。而针对哥白尼著作《天体运行论》（De Revolutionibus）的禁令直到1835年才被废除。
