Come understand the theological Gordian knot between free will and astral determinism, and discover the pontiffs who governed Christendom by consulting the alignment of the planets! The Theological Dilemma: The Stars Incline, but Do Not Necessarily For the Church, accepting that the stars governed human destiny would destroy the concept of sin and redemption. Therefore, Judicial Astrology (predicting the future and individual horoscopes) was opposed. However, Natural Astrology (the physical influence of the stars on the body and nature) was widely accepted. Saint Thomas Aquinas synthesized this view with the famous maxim: "The stars incline, but do not necessitate," allowing astrology to be studied in the great medieval universities. "For a 16th-century Pope, consulting the stars was not an act of rebellion against God, but rather an attempt to read the lines of divine calligraphy written on the celestial vault." #history #catholicchurch #astrology #vatican #MiddleAges #renaissance #popes #astronomy #HistoryOfScience #theology #SaintThomasAquinas #historicalcuriosities #GalileoGalilei #MysteriesOfHistory
