Catholics Against the Faith?Are you calling the Church of 1616 ‘the wild and wacky world of CAF’, whatever CAF means?
Cynics and Agnostics Forever?

Is there a “Church of 1616”? I thought there was only one Church.Catholics Against the Faith? Cynics and Agnostics Forever?
Darwin ENHANCED God, not killed him. As a matter of fact, it particularly enhanced Christianity.Hi this is a really interesting documentary broadcast on the BBC, BBC2. It is called ‘Did Darwin Kill God’. It was broadcast on the 31st March. I really hope someone uploads this on YouTube and the other video sharing websites! It is also available too watch on iPlayer, the link below

What the theory of evolution claims is that Spirit has evolved from matter to life to human to god-human (Christ).
Darwin claims (correctly) that ANYONE can evolve into Christ because we all came from the original source that was THAT before the Big Bang.
Unfortunately, to get to be a human/god you have to have knowledge.
The knowledge is out there except that you do not have the courage to accept it. It doesn’t mean rejecting the teachings of Jesus it means understanding them at a deep level.
There are a lot of perils of going deep. Friedrich Nietzsche tried to go deep and he got lost and expired in the abyss. But damn, read him and you will be astounded.
There is of course only one Church. The expression ‘Church of 1616’ denotes the date that our one true Church defined and declared the Scriptures state the world is geocentric and that anything that denies this truth of revelation is a heresy. This is also the date that the Catholic Church established its position on faith and science.Is there a “Church of 1616”? I thought there was only one Church.
Especially if one is reading posts from Cassini!Accordingly, Catholic forums have inherited this loss of credibility and they are not the place to find the truth in this field.
Just for clarification for other posters, Cassini, could you please tell us what you think of the Pope’s acceptance of some form of evolution and apparent rejection of geocentricity?One would think that the Catholic faith and what is called science, two infallible sources if understood properly, should produce clarity and complete harmony, Alas, there are THOUSANDS of posts on this forum and there is no general concensus thus proving that truth in the field of faith and science is no longer to be found in modern Catholicism.
So if the Church is no longer the true church, then where is it? Is there a Catholic Church of Geocentrism? Does it have congregations here and there?Accordingly, Catholic forums have inherited this loss of credibility and they are not the place to find the truth in this field.

The question is actually pretty simple. God gave us divine revelation, are we to abandon trying to further our understanding of God because of His revelation in Divine Revelation?Sorry Conall, I don’t quite follow your question. What I will say is that the Church and its followers have compiled a MOUNTAIN of theology and philosophy about God. Indeed I would say Catholicism knows more about God than man knows about the universe around him. No, I will go even further. Given the paramaters of ‘science’ wherein according to natural philosophers we can know little for certain about the workings of the world about us, I know we know more about God than science knows about His creation.
‘Any physical theory is always provisional, in the sense that it is only a hypothesis: you can never prove it. No matter how many times the results of experiments agree with some theory, you can never be sure that the next time the result will not contradict it.’
— S. Hawking, Brief History, p.10.
Nothing may be taken away, nor added, neither is it possible to find out the glorious works of God: When a man hath done, then shall he begin: and when he leaveth off, he shall be at a loss. (Ecclus 28:5-6)
For the works of the Highest only are wonderful, and his works are glorious, secret, and hidden. (Ecclus 11:4)
And I understand that man can find no reason for all those works of God that are done under the sun. and the more he shall labour to seek, so much the less shall he find: yea, though the wise man shall say, that he knoweth it, he shall not be able to find it (Eccl 8:17)
As for Copernicus, Galileo, Newton, Einstein, Pope Benedict XIV onwards, well here is God telling them all that only HE knows the order of the universe, and only if HE reveals it will we know. And you know what? He did reveal it was geocentric, and the Church of 1616 confirmed He revealed it was geocentric.
‘Dost thou know the order of heaven, and canst thou
set down the reason thereof on the earth? Who can
declare the order of the heavens or who can make
the harmony of heaven to sleep?’ — (Job. 38:33-37).
So, how about that for fundamentalism.

The Church St Anastasia, is the unchanging mystical body of Christ. It complies with Christs promise that the Holy Ghost will guide it always until the end of time. Like God Himself it teaches the truth and NEVER changes that truth.So if the Church is no longer the true church, then where is it? Is there a Catholic Church of Geocentrism? Does it have congregations here and there?
Conall, I haven’t a clue what you are implying or asking.The question is actually pretty simple. God gave us divine revelation, are we to abandon trying to further our understanding of God because of His revelation in Divine Revelation?

Yeah, it is a great start, but, if you don’t mind, I would like to clarify a couple of other points for readers of this thread that may not have followed your posts in the past.Does that answer your question Orogeny?
Heliocentrists do not hold that the sun is stationary. For the sun would also be moving..
The Church defined and declared a fixed sun as heresy and a moving earth as contrary to Catholic faith by inference to the Scriptures.
Yes, but because the heresy was hidden from sight in 1835 the heresy would now be considered material, that is, carrying no punishment.Yeah, it is a great start, but, if you don’t mind, I would like to clarify a couple of other points for readers of this thread that may not have followed your posts in the past.
Since the Church defined and declared a fixed sun as heresy and a moving earth as contrary to Catholic faith by inference to the Scriptures, would teaching or allowing the teaching of a heliocentric solar system make one a heretic if they are in a position of authority. Like, say, a pope?

What do you mean by “hidden from sight” and why 1835?Yes, but because the heresy was hidden from sight in 1835 the heresy would now be considered material, that is, carrying no punishment.
Absolutely. Indeed this is a crucial point. There is a doctrine on geocentricism. It is substiantial. I can let you have it if you want. A geocentric world is a theocentric world. If one believed the world we live in and witness with our eyes that one could only conclude it was made this way by God. St Cardinal Bellarmine wrote a book in 1614, the Seven Steps to God in which he showed how we can reach to God by our understanding and appreciation of the geocentric universe He has created for us.Heliocentrists do not hold that the sun is stationary. For the sun would also be moving.
Also, let me try another way of wording the question.
Is it possible to learn about God through natural theology?
So what are your thoughts on the esteemed Fr. Georges Lemaitre?As you know, heliocentricism led to evolutionism which led to Big Bangism which provided a ‘complete’ natural philosophy for Agnosticism and atheism. With Catholics endorsing these theories as true facts, the Devil is laughing.
Orogeny, what good questions. Thanks for asking them. Usually all I get are insults and smart remarks from posters just so that nobody will get to hear the truth, let alone believe in it.What do you mean by “hidden from sight” and why 1835?
If you know about it, why wouldn’t the Pope?
Peace

Caught up in false science. In fact Lemaitre plaguarised Copernicus. It is not commonly known, but Copernicus was the first to propose an expanding universe, but a geocentric one. Its simple, a revolving universe throws out its bodies due to inertia.So what are your thoughts on the esteemed Fr. Georges Lemaitre?

Well, let’s summarize, shall we? According to cassini, the Church infallibly declared that the earth is the stationary center of the universe in 1616. Between 1714 and 1835, the Church was taken over by heretics and has been in a state of heresy since. The popes mentioned in cassini’s previous post knew about the problem, but hid it because the Church was wrong in its definition and declaration on heliocentricism.Anybody like to challenge this truth? This is anothe truism. The truth is easy to defend, it is the lie that doesn’t know its foot from its elbow.
