Friedrich Nietzsche pointed out that there are no facts, only interpretations. A fact is basically as useless as a brick until you use it for something. To use a fact for something is to give it meaning. To give a fact meaning is to engage in the process of interpretation of the fact in relation to other facts or ideas. If we say the sun revolves around the earth, for example, such a claim is meaningless until we understand why such a claim is given any meaning at all. The meaning such a claim was given was that it made sense not simply because that is what appeared to be the case, but because such an interpretation conformed to the claim that earth was the one celestial marble God preferred over all of the other marbles rolling around in the universe. The Catholic Church made such a claim but never took any responsibility for the fact that it was, in fact, wrong. Catholic Popes decided that they, like the Roman Emperors before them, were given the power of infallibility from God. Po
