Giordano Bruno

Filosofo, arso vivo a Roma,
per volonta del Papa
il 17 febbraio 1600


Giordano Bruno was born circa 1548, and was burned at the stake on February 17, 1600 for holding beliefs that in the eyes of the Roman Catholic Church were heretical, such as

"Innumerable suns exist; innumerable earths revolve around these suns in a manner similar to the way the seven planets revolve around our sun. Living beings inhabit these worlds."

Giordano Bruno aprčs le būcher (Jean Rocchi)

Giordano Bruno, by John Patrick Michael Murphy (1998) Pope John Paul is compiling a list of harms his church has caused. He is going to apologize next year and freethinkers are anxious to see if he will remember Bruno. ... In 1889, when freethinkers and rational religionists erected a statue of him, in the same flowered square where he was murdered by the Catholic Church, they were condemned by Pope Leo XIII. In 1942, Cardinal Mercati claimed the church was right because Bruno deserved it. Since then the Vatican has been silent on the matter.
