I really fail to see how it is that ironic, if you recall most people at that time thought the earth was the center of the universe. The church made a mistake and they just thought of rectifying it so they did so, please tell me how that is ironic.

It's ironic because the greatest critic (obviously not anymore) of his beliefs are giving him adulation. Even though the belief was held ages ago, it still remains ironic that the one side of the spectrum marked an event of importance to the opposite side.

Is it ironic when someone or something takes action to help rectify their mistakes? Would it be ironic if bush apologized for no child left behind?

I think not, instead I consider it to be honerable to be able to admit that sometimes you were wrong.

I would never laugh at someone for admitting that they made a mistake in the past.

The irony stems from the Catholic law that the church is always right. I think the evolution of religion is very interesting and am glad to see ol Darth Bennedictus calling attention to the reasonability and intelligence of modern Catholics that can recognize what is in front of them. The church has been very careful about admitting mistakes. Fallibility is not a habit they want to get into. After all if they were wrong about this, maybe they are wrong about birth control, abortion, gay marriage, evolution, etc.

Believe it or not, this is actually a big step.
