I'm sorry that I included the contributions of Galilei only in a comment, not in the main article. I never intended to claim that Galilei didn't contribute anything to science, nor did I intend to claim that the Catholic Church was always right.

You're missing the point. The phases of Venus and the moons of Jupiter were arguments for the heliocentric view contributed by Galileo but noticeably absent from your article.
