This of course refering to Giordano Bruno who was burned at the stake by the Catholic Church as a heretic, Bruno in particular espoused Nicolaus Copernicus's heliocentric theory amongst other things. This particular tweet also references Galileo Galilei who was of course one of the greatest astronomers in human history, a true pioneer of the field, and was prosecuted extensively by the Catholic church for his entire life but of course he was absolved centuries later... which of course makes it all better.

I honestly didn't hear of Bruno until I watched Cosmos this past Sunday on FOX.

In Galileo's case, putting the Pope's words into the mouth of a character whose name roughly translates to "Dumbass" didn't help him so much...
ev4n:
Iirc Galileo got along quite well with one pope. The next one, though, caused him grief.
