He Says It’s Hard To Get There From Here

I would say here something that was heard from an ecclesiastic of the most eminent degree:  ‘That the intention of the Holy Ghost is to teach us how one goes to heaven, not how heaven goes.’“

Collected in Stillman Drake’s:  “The Discoveries and Opinions of Galileo“.
