"Sure I agree that dogma is problematic for science. But I still wouldn't say the Galileo affair was a good example of dogma in action. Rather the problem with the Galileo affair was an overzealous pedantry - heliocentrism was a hypothesis so they legalised it that everyone should make it clear it was a hypothesis. This was entirely unnecessary. Bruno is a good example of dogma in action but an example of dogma in Theology and philosophy rather than science"

"It was a bit of both. Galileo's academic rivals (the "Pigeon League") took him to the Roman Inquisitorial court. The Roman Inquisition consulted leading astrononers who advised that heliocentrism lacked evidence then consulted Theologians who stated it was a heresy for scripture to be reinterpreted based on an unproved hypothesis. The Roman Inquisition tried to mediate the dispute used the milder language "false and contrary to scripture" instead of "heresy" admonished Galileo's worst detractors but ruled that Heliocentrism had to be held as a hypothesis and could not be used to reinterpret"
