New books and the sharing of new ideas led some to start challenging the Church’s teachings on the subject. How would the church handle this challenge to it’s authority?

Where will the ball land when he drops it? Why?
It falls straight down and lands next to the horse.
Ubi voluntate globus terrae eum in urnam?
Spectat ad terras recti equitum creatos inuenio.
Where will the ball land when he drops it? Will it fall straight down again? Why?
The ball still lands next to the horse because we absorb motion!
Ubi voluntate globus terrae eum in urnam? Si forte cadat deorsum iterum Quam ob causam?
Globus adhuc terris iuxta predictum equum eo quod nos absorbet motum!
In 1615 Galileo wrote another book offering more proof.
The book offended the pope and Galileo was ordered to admit he was wrong.
He did but he was sentenced to jail for the rest of his life.
In MDCXV Galileo scripsit alius liber superponens argumentum.
Galileo liber offendit papae iussus peccasse fateris.
Sed idem adhuc in carcerem et in reliquum vitae suae.
