Today in Labor History February 26, 1616: The Roman Catholic Church formally banned Galileo Galilei from teaching or defending the view that the earth orbits the sun. In 1633, they tried and convicted him of heresy, and imprisoned him for the rest of his life. Bertolt Brecht wrote the play “Galileo” in 1938, which first played in Zurich, in 1943. Brecht fled Nazi Germany in 1933.

A quotation from Addison

I love to see a Man zealous in a good Matter, and especially when his Zeal shews it self for advancing Morality, and promoting the Happiness of Mankind: But when I find the Instruments he works with are Racks and Gibbets, Gallies and Dungeons; when he imprisons Mens Persons, confiscates their Estates, ruins their Families, and burns the Body to save the Soul, I cannot stick to pronounce of such a one, that (whatever he may think of his Faith and Religion) his Faith is vain, and his Religion unprofitable.

Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman
Essay (1711-10-02), The Spectator, No. 185

"Imagine practicing #Judaism, with no religious books, no #Mishnah, no #Midrash, no #Talmud, no #Torah, only select Christian Bibles. You have no #Hebrew texts and no memory of Hebrew, except for a few garbled words of the #Shema. Your communities have no #rabbis. You can’t teach your children about Judaism until they are adults. How would #Jewish traditions be continued? What would Jewish practice become as generations pass over hundreds of years?

This is what happened to #Jews after their expulsion and forced conversion during the worldwide #Inquisition."
