Mahoney says that Galileo died without "major sin", even though
he recanted completely his knowledge about the solar
system, allowing people to be force-fed a superstitious view
of the universe that he knew was totally false and untrue.

I wonder, now, just what sort of behavior is it to recant something
you KNOW to be true?  Could you argue that the onus is on the Church
for threatening his life?
