      [continued from previous message]              the purposes of telling time and things like planetary motion that he       left restrictions on questioning the beliefs of the Church Fathers in       place. The anti geocentrists quoted the entire decree and could only       say that the remaining restrictions were never stated in the document.       The Pope only wrote that authors had to ask the church offices to       determine if what they wanted to publish was not restricted. Isn't that       nuts? That was nearly 2 centuries after Galileo was convicted and the       church still could not admit that they were wrong about that. It took       until 1992 for the Pope to formally apologize for the mishandling of the       Galileo case, and admitted that it was due to scriptural interpretation,       and the improper interpretation of a scientific matter as a threat to faith.              >       >> You are a third party       >> Catholic that is just wrong about this issue.

All your Church theologians and reputable       historians should know that the Church Fathers were all geocentrists,       and that should be the end of this story. They were just wrong about       what scripture told them about the world. The Inquisition heresy issue       is due to their interpretation of scripture.              >       > I also note that you still can’t identify even one “anti-geocentrist”       > who supports you as you continuously claim.       >       >       Why lie about getting all those links last time? They had a whole web       site and I got multiple links from that web site. You just denied       reality and ran.              Look what you are still doing.              Ron Okimoto              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
