FAQ About Giordano Bruno
Why was Giordano Bruno executed?
Giordano Bruno was executed in 1600 by the Roman Inquisition primarily for his heretical views, which included the rejection of several key Catholic doctrines and his support for the Copernican model of the universe. Bruno's beliefs in the infinity of the universe and the plurality of worlds challenged the traditional geocentric cosmology endorsed by the Church. Moreover, his philosophical stance on various theological issues, such as the denial of the Trinity and the divinity of Christ, contributed to his condemnation and eventual execution by burning at the stake.
