Has any academic refutation been presented against the views in Alberto A. Martinez's article, "Giordano Bruno and the heresy of many worlds", yet?

This research article (available at [ http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00033790.2016.1193627?src=recsys&journalCode=tasc20 ]) was relatively newly published in 2016 and it concluded that the Catholic Church burnt Giordano Bruno mainly because of his belief in many worlds. May I ask that are there any articles refuted the views held by this article have been published or written yet?

Though I believe this was written long before that article, but it is pretty sufficient.

The comments reveal that so many believe in whatever their scientific authority says regardless of facts.

Hello Kei and many thanks for your reply and help. Unfortunately, the statement in the Catholic Encyclopedia was mentioned in the beginning of this article as one of the statements denied by this scholar. Although I believe in this statement, this scholar claimed that, as what is shown in the abstract, his article was supported by “recent and newly discovered primary sources”, and this is why I emphasised the published date of this article.

Such as?

He was punished for among other things thinking God was dependent upon creating, hence why he believed God was constantly creating.

Does he have any of these primary sources or present any evidence to the contrary?
