Well, it's not exactly in charge anymore.

And it's not so much "made" as "funded", and that was the one of the issues with Galileo. Galileo turned his anger towards the individual signing his cheques, when it was a layman who was rallying clergy against him. A good analogue would be the lay-led organization "The Catholic League" in the United States of America.

There's so much that's facinating about the Galileo affair, and that's only the most recent thing I've learned: it was a secular opponent, Lodovico delle Colombe, who started adopting the appeal to authority fallacy by using religion as a defence against the theses behind Galileo's studies.
