I'm sure Copernicus really wanted to be reburied by the same child molesting pricks that tried to ruin him 500yrs ago. If he were alive today he would not believe in Bronze Age Myth anyway.

Copernicus proably couldnt be more offended. For him and all who died to give us real truth I pray for the catholic church to choke on their gods giant cock!

Nicolaus Copernicus of Poland described the necessary monetary reform in his book and while working with the Polish Seym, he established in 1526 a new currency unit named “złoty.” Thus, zloty became a basic unit of the monetary system in Poland.

Copernicus published in Latin his book on monetary reform early in 1526 under title: “Monetae Cudende Ratio” in which, for the first time in history, he stated the law of currency that “bad money derives the good money out of circulation.”

BUt hey, just discovered the only intelligent comment here is from an American. SO it should me mentioned that it is also a fact that the only advance progressive social thinking is in the US too. Hopefully the subversives will survive the galloping onslaught against human rights and freedom of speech.

@The Wizzoo

Of course the report is rubbish - it was made by members of officially the most illiterate nation in the Western world who are actually so ignorant they never hesitate for a second to flaunt it before the world... Would be funny, but isn't because nations, like Poland, now follow the US education system. Guess NO CHANCE for another Copernicus from there any more! Heheheh

[pythagorasnine]

Maybe if any of you that find it ironic outragous etc learned to read, you'd find out that not only Copernicus WAS the church (a happy and loyal cannon his entire adult life), but also that during Renaissance Poland, unlike Italy, any kind of physical persecution for heresy was impossible.

Church: Thanks for proving us wrong, heres a little pointless ceremony even though you're dead and not able to attend it.

[TheWizzooo]

This report is rubbish. Nicolaus Copernicus was a canon of Mother Church. He dedicated his work to Pope Paul III. The PROTESTANT theologian Rheticus helped Copernicus, and it was Rheticus who was forbidden to return to his position at Wittenberg by the leading protestants.

Book is in my lap right now. This report is rubbish.

@GodKillerAtheist I like that your Aesthetic and conservative. I'm not an aethiest, but I don't use god to back my political philosophy. While I do vote conservative I admit most conservatives today aren't conservative and more or less represent religious ideology. At any rate I believe for a country to be successful that law must be above every man equally. Modern day liberals think we should support justice over law, but don't realize this is what creates dictators above the law.

@thebestsumoeva I think you are confusing liberal policies with Atheism. True Many outspoken Atheists are Liberals but many more are conservatives like me. Republican/Conservative does not equate to Christian. Anarchism is the only true form of fair government. The only problem is that humans are not evolved enough to self govern and Anarchism fails.
