Today's post is going to be short. Very short. This post will be addressing Ptolemy's stance on Religion and Heresy, and in particular, Galileo's.
The straight and narrow of it all is that Ptolemy was most likely Pagan. The Catholic church didn't exist in his lifetime, and thus, Galileo may be a heretic, but not against Christianity, but the Roman Gods.
Also, little is known about Ptolemy's religious stances towards his own current religion, but it can be assumed that his stance in this trial will be mostly concern about this challenge to his intellectual findings.
