Althoght the Catholic Church has settled Galileo's case several times, the controverse goes on. I argue that Church's ini-tiatives on this matter ---the revision of the condemnation of copernicanism from 1820; the use of documents coming from Galileo's inquisitorial dossier from 1850 on and the controversy raised by this use; Paschini case (1942-1965); and the con-clusions drawn by pope John Paul II in 1992-1993--- make evident the identical actitude of the Church as well as the persis-tence of his basic interests, which make very unlikely that Galileo's case, regardless of genuine historical problems, can be con-sidered as closed. Keywords: Galileo and the Church; Galileo's trial; Galileo's case; Urban VIII and Galileo; Marino Marini; Pio Paschini; John Paul II, Copernicus and Galileo; Science and religion.
