Roberto Bellarmine was an Italian Cardinal of the Catholic Church. He was canonized a Saint in 1930.
He is known for his dispute with Galileo regarding the heliocentrism theory. After learning about Galileo's work in Carmelite father Paulo Antonio Foscarini's letter, Bellarmine told Foscarini to inform Galileo to limit himself to treat such theory as a hypothetical phenomenon rather than a physical reality, as it would be considered a "dangerous thing". As a result of this, Galileo wrote a letter to the Pope in which he declared Bellarmine a "babbler". This is debatable, as Galileo's theory was truly disruptive for the time.
Galileos stance ultimately made the Chruch ban his theory as it considered it as "heretical".

C. Climate change
D. Corruption
I think it is B.. Am I right?
Answer: B. Sins.
Explanation:
By describing the plague as a possible punishment sent by God, Boccaccio depicted an extended belief about the Black Death pandemic that infested Europe between 1346 and 1353. Having said that should be noted that Boccaccio was not actually religious, and this treatment may have been simply conventional, since he doesn´t insist on that theme, and the characters don´t seem interested in repenting or seeking forgiveness from God for their sins.
