translate English to French: I fear that had we been called upon today to discuss Pasteur and his inventions, a part of this House would have condemned him, just as others condemned Galileo a few centuries ago!
Aujourd'hui, si nous devions discuter de Pasteur et de ses inventions, je crains fort qu'une partie de cet hémicycle le condamnerait comme d'autres, voici quelques siècles, condamnaient Galilée!
