@regendans @rcosta @blogdiva they did come back from that…the modern incarnation of the Vatican Observatory is Jesuit-run https://www.vaticanobservatory.org/sacred-space-astronomy/jesuits-and-the-vatican-observatory/

(there is a historian of science on here who will tear you a new one about the nuances of the Galileo affair but, for your sake, I am not paging him lol)

after Galileo, one of the most important cases of scientific censorship ―and defense against excommunication― was of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz in México. she was part of what would have been my dissertation on the baroque and neobaroque in América Latina, so yeah am ghastly aware of the nuances.

@blogdiva @nev @regendans Didn't knew Juana Inés de la Cruz! Really a pitty that her and Antonio Vieira never met. True intellectual giants.
