What is the meaning of galileo statement "I detest the aforesaid errors and heresies and also every other error contrary to the holy church"

Answer:

The meaning of Galileo's statement is the following. He is repenting for the postulates of Copernico that said that the Earth orbited around the sun, in opposition to the Catholic Church states that it was the Sun which orbited around the Earth. That is why Niccola Copernico had postulated in the past and Galileo had believed and supported. Galileo also believed that planet Earth was a sphere when the church believed it was flat.

However, those ideas were blasphemous and were against the teachings of the Catholic Church. These ideas would have caused Galileo to go to the institution INquisition and be sentenced to die in the stakes(burned)

That is why Galileo had to go to give testimony to the Papal Court in 1633.

Hope this helps :)
