The story of how the Church dealt with Galileo is an important point of conversation for today's Church. Have we learned at all from how that story played out? Have we given up on getting it right or have we just changed the furniture around? What exactly does it mean to be the Church, and who get's to decide who's doing it right? Dive into this and more on this episode of the Lark Blogcast.
The fact that we - the Church - still have practices and policies in place to help us exclude certain people for certain reasons shows that we still think that some of the reconciling work of Christ has been left undone. We somehow exist with a sort of cognitive dissonance between how Christ came to forgive all sin, yet we persist in excommunicating, expelling and excluding certain sinners and certain sins. Let's explore what we haven't yet learned from the way the Church sentenced Galileo, who was later found and proven to be right!
