While consciously beholden to Copernicus and Galileo, Rho did not accept the heliocentric system, preferring to consider the assertions of these masters unproved. Possibly his hesitation was due to tactical consideration - not to disturb either the ideas held by the Chinese or the official doctrine of the Church.
