Giordano Bruno. Martyr to Astronomy.

So why was the head of the vatican observatory replaced after he spoke out against intelligent design?
Was it that he broke protocol, was it the way he said it or what he said?

He was replaced after resigning having been director for 25 years and is now aged 73 and apparently suffering from cancer. I dont see too much weight in the conspiracy theory; it might have had something to do with it but I doubt it was the reason he was replaced.

There is a Bruno Award given out annually by the SETI League for the art, practice or science in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI).
