Galileo died on Jan 8 1642. He believed that doctrine could not be in conflict with nature or reality, as our comprehension of reality changed. My reflection in Give Us This Day

On the feast of Epiphany the master gave a rousing speech to his army of defenders, “we lucky few, we band of brothers, for all who shed blood for me are my brothers. I love you! Remember this day!” he cried before returning to the manor for Executive Time.

“Et tu, Mikhail? the master said, sadly. The plan had been for his manservant to offer himself as a human sacrifice, and in return the master would adopt Mikhail’s cow and raise it as his own. But then someone got “cold feet.”

Long before studying the art of the deal, the master had dabbled in magic and the “dark arts.” How gladly he would now sacrifice half his estate to have paid closer attention to those lessons. But where could he find an eye of Newt on short notice?

Addressing his manservant Mikhail, the master noted that there came a time in the life of every manservant when he had to ask himself how he expected and wanted history to remember him. “This is that moment,” he warned. “Capisce?”

Apart from his inheritance and his history of bribery and fraud, the master was proud that everything he had achieved in life was a result of hard work and positive thinking. Many people were saying he was a model for youth about pursuing their dreams.
