That’s quite a phrase. To most of us being told not to talk on threat of much worse happening to you is already bad, even if it’s not by comparison with the much worse happening. Let me remind you of how you started:
This is very much phrased as if he wasn’t in any trouble before, versus what you’re now admitting:
The simple fact is in all these paragraphs, you have only mentioned positive things about the relationship of the church with heliocentrism and carefully omitted everything else right up to the Dialogue, save talking around ones I brought up. These omissions are much too selective for me to see them as anything other than pushing a narrative to excuse the church for its part in all this. That’s not history, that’s apologetics, and I have no interest in distorting things like that.
