Pope Urban VIII (Latin: Urbanus VIII; baptised 5 April 1568 – 29 July 1644), reigned as Pope from 6 August 1623 to his death in 1644. He expanded the papal territory by force of arms and advantageous politicking, and was also a prominent patron of the arts and a reformer of Church missions.
However, the massive debts incurred during his pontificate greatly weakened his successors, who were unable to maintain the papacy's longstanding political and military influence in Europe. He was also involved in a controversy with Galileo and his theory on heliocentrism during his reign.
He is the most recent pope to date to take the pontifical name of Urban upon being elected as pope.
He was born Maffeo Barberini in April 1568 to Antonio Barberini, a Florentine nobleman, and Camilla Barbadoro. His father died when he was only three years old and his mother took him to Rome, where he was put in the charge of his uncle, Francesco Barberini, an apostolic protonotary. At the age of 16 he became his uncle's heir. He was educated by the Society of Jesus, ("Jesuits") and received a doctorate of law from the University of Pisa in 1589.

In October, 1633 Galileo was served at his house in Florence with a summons to appear before the Inquisition in Rome. His new book, Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems, included an argument for a heliocentric solar system with the Earth rotating and also orbiting the Sun. This was directly in contradiction of Church doctrine, which had already adopted the conclusion of Ptolemy, that the Earth was fixed in space and everything else moved around it. The Book remained on the Catholic Church's Index of Forbidden Books until 1835.
This is a pre-trial interview with the acting pope of the time, Pope Urban VIII. This interview was for Mr.Gold's Galileo mock trial. I apologize for any background noises that you might hear, this was recorded just as students were leaving school and the timing caused a lot of background noise. Enjoy!

Did what transpired between Pope Urban VIII and Galileo act as fuel to fire up the Protestant Reformation?
In May 2005, the Italian National Library in Rome made an amazing discovery. Buried in their archives was an unknown manuscript written by the famed prophet Michel de Nostradame, or Nostradamus (1503-1566). This manuscript was handed down to his son and later donated to Pope Urban VIII. It did not surface again until now, almost four hundred years later. Using cutting-edge data mining techniques, Dr. Rathford sifted this complex word puzzle searching for significant patterns and relationships. Almost immediately, he came up with the predictive model known as The Nostradamus Code. When the prophecies-within-prophecies are deciphered, the hidden timeline of World War III is revealed. tags: nostradamus, nostradamus predictions, nostradamus book, nostradamus prophecies, nostradamus pr...
