The Catholic World Report recently published an informative article about Nicolas Copernicus, the 550th anniversary of whose birth and the 480th anniversary of whose death fall this year.
The author of the article sets out to establish the true details of key aspects of Copernicus’ life and place in the history of Astronomy, and to dispel myths about him and his relationship with the Catholic Church. As far as I can see he succeeds in doing that and he places Copernicus firmly in the world to which he belonged, be it that of nationality, of the Church and of academia.
The article can be seen at Nicolaus Copernicus: Man of mystery, science, and God
