Good for you.  You know have a patron saint for your R&R that was also responsible for the modern ideas that led to Vatican II.

I await your refutation, instead of your tiresome blathering.

Henry Newman was not unlike Galileo, who also boasted of his superior intellect. When Newman stood for the Oriel Fellowship, he confided to his father that;
   
‘Few have ever attained the facility and comprehension which I arrived at from the regularity and constancy of my reading and the laborious and nerve-bracing and fancy-repressing study of mathematics, which has been my principal subject.’ (Vincent Ferrer Belhl: Pilgrim’s Journey. John Henry Newman, Paulist Press, 2002, p.45)

Are you sure that wasn’t a quote from Ladislaus?

Yes Ladislaus,   every churchman from 1820 went along with the 'scientific' modernism brought about by the concession to heliocentrism, defined and declared in 1616 and 1633 by popes Paul V and Urban VIII as formal HERESY. That said, every pope up to Pius XII tried to stop Modernism but they couldn't because they had to go along with their predecessor Pius VII who was conned by Fr Olivieri into permitting a heliocentric reading of Scripture. Even Pope St Pius x, was dragged into the greatest deceit in Church history;

Pope St Pius X - on the advice of Italian astronomer Cardinal Pietro Maffi - designated Fr G. Hagen S.J. (1847-1930) as director of the Specola Vaticana.  Such was Fr Hagan’s reputation on the occasion of his 80th birthday in 1927, that he was visited at the observatory by Pope Pius XI (1922-39) who presented him with a special gold medal. So, what service to astronomy was such that Fr Hagan deserved to be made director of the observatory and get a holy gold medal from reigning popes?

‘The Rev. William F. Rigge, S.J., professor of physics and astronomy at Creighton University, has a long article running through the April and May [1913] numbers of Popular Astronomy on “Experimental Proofs of the Earth’s Rotation.” It is an abridged and popular presentation of the book published by Father Hagen, S.J., director of the Vatican Observatory in 1911. It is divided into four parts. The first treats of bodies falling from a height, which on account of their being farther from the Earth’s axis of revolution when on the top of a tower, move eastward faster than the ground and must therefore fall east of the point directly below them. The second mentions various forms of pendulums, especially Foucault’s, whose plane of vibration, while really fixed, appears to shift on account of the Earth’s rotation. The third part treats of gyroscopes, and shows how they are used to prove that our Earth turns on an axis. The fourth part explains various other apparatus, including two machines of Father Hagen’s own invention. “It looks like an amende honorable to the Galileo imbroglio,” says Fr. Rigge in the Creighton Chronicle “that the Pope’s own astronomer should come openly before the world with such a learned work and should even produce two new experiments to prove the fact of the Earth’s rotation. Not that we imply that Galileo was condemned for the sole reason that he upheld this doctrine of the Earth’s motion — for which however he had absolutely no proof whatever — but that we have now one argument more, and one that fully offsets any fault that may have been committed before.”’--- Fr W. F. Rigge, S.J. (The Fortnightly Review: Mission Press of the Society of the Divine Illinois, 1913)

‘It looks like an amende honourable [English law. A penalty imposed upon a person by way of disgrace or infamy, as a punishment for any offence, or for the purpose of making reparation for any injury done to another, as the walking into church in a white sheet, with a rope about the neck, and begging the pardon of God, or the king, or any private individual, for some delinquency.] to the Galileo imbroglio,’ [An acutely painful or embarrassing misunderstanding]  adds Fr. Rigge S.J., describing the humiliation with which churchmen of his time viewed the Catholic Church supposedly getting its Biblical and philosophical meaning wrong in 1616 and in Galileo’s trial in 1633. Above we see the Jesuits of the Vatican Observatory, in Pope St Pius X’s and Pope Pius XI’s time, were now, in the name of the Church, trying to convince all how Galileo’s science and heretical Biblical hermeneutics were correct and Catholic. They did this by regurgitating all the so-called proofs for a rotating Earth, even when cosmologists were admitting relativity prevails so no proof for an orbiting Earth ever existed. This then is how the ‘intellectual’ Jesuits tried to stop all ‘accusations against the Church as an enemy of scientific progress,’ by defending the false science.


See then that the greatest error ever made in the Catholic Church was in 1820 when 'material' heresy entered the womb of the Church. I say material because it was not an intentional rejection of a dogma, it was based on ignorance and the wrong advice. The Devil fooled the whole world including popes of the Catholic Church, proving what Jesus said, that he was 'the Father of lies.' Not only did popes go along with the lie that their predecessors in 1616 and 1633 made a mistake when defining what Holy Scripture really means, what Trent said was the opinion of ALL the Fathers, inferring ALL the Fathers were also wrong, but they cannot admit to the truth now because the lie is less harmful to the credibility of the Catholic Church than the truth. So, it is history now, that since 1820 modernist Catholicism became more credible than supernatural Catholicism which in turn has lost millions of Catholics from the faith plunging our generation into the worst time ever to defend tradition.
