Just took a quick peek at the thread referred to by QVD, and John Lane's initial response contains this nugget, which, at first glance, seems reasonable to me:

"One can see, in the light of these observations, the great disservice to truth and to the credibility of the Church which is done by those who go to extremes in their comments and interpretations of this matter. Those who insist that the Church defined the matter when she condemned Galileo create an impossible conundrum, and likewise those who blithely accept that the common interpretation of the Fathers can be tossed aside create a crisis of confidence in the Church and in the truth of Holy Writ. And I think equally problematical are the extreme commentaries which find at the bottom of all modern ills the Heliocentric theory. These commentaries essentially argue that the faith has been destroyed by a theory about which the Church remains silent. That notion is inadmissible, obviously."

Just asking, because I know he considers the encyclical Providentissimus Deus to be a “post-Galileo U-turn” which taught error to the universal Church.
I wouldn't be surprised if Cassini is Sungenis-- both are Dogmatic Geo-centrist... :popcorn:

I'm a geocentrist, and I agree with Sungenis about ALMOST everything.  

But Cassini's notion that PD taught error to the universal Church brings sedevacantism back to the 1800's.  

We just need a couple more Cassini's to get back to Ibranyi (no pope since 1000).  

And of course, there can never be another pope again, since the whole church has defected (lest there be a lone bishop in the woods).

All that said, John Lane's previously quoted comment seems to be the most reasonable.  

Strange that he does not apply it to sedevacantism itself.

But let's keep the conversation on Cassini's theory.

 I don't want to argue with him.  I find him an interesting character, to be honest.
I also find him interesting.  I value his posts.

I would also be very surprised if 'Cassini" did not recognise the anti-pope Frank... :jester:
