contradictory; either the earth was at the center of the universe or it wasn’t. The task at hand was to decide which theory was the true one, and this is when the scientific stalemate between the two theories began. The scientific stalemate that Cardinal Bellarmine referred to when he wrote his letter to Foscarini in 1615 was due to the inability of anyone to prove the superiority of either the Copernican or Ptolemaic/Aristotelian theory to the other.

The denomination had a head bishop who was elected from a pool of other bishops; these would be the equivalent of the Cardinals in the Vatican.
