Those who would persecute Galileo today . . .

While people still like to think of the Church as the big bad censors who try to prevent free intellectual inquiry, the new inquisitors are the same secularist, multicultural relativist ideologues who sit on human rights commissions. They are the materialist secular fundamentalists who dominate academia and scientific research in the West. They are the new priests and priestesses of a new religion that will not countenance disagreement.

Listen Up TV, a great program hosted by Lorna Dueck, has done a piece on the new movie Expelled that looks at the persecution of scientists who buck the prevailing orthodoxies. These are the people who would persecute the Galileos of today, not Pope Benedict XVI.

Go see Expelled. And support Listen Up and other alternative media like Salt and Light TV, the Catholic Register, Catholic Insight and LifeSiteNews.com.
