IMO the Moon revolves around Earth and the Earth revolves around then Sun. L. Pastor's confusing of the terms rotation and revolution in v29 of his History(Galileo's 2nd indictment) is unnerving. Ciao

Should of course read the Sun--possibly KP could be more specific on his thoughts--do you believe that the Earth revolves around the Moon?

No, I am an adherent of geocentrism/geostatism, although I know it is not de fide definita dogma.

According to Pope Greg XIII, the Earth revolves around the Sun. The idea that the Earth revolves around the Sun has been incorperated into the function of the Gregorian Calendar of the Roman Church. See Pastor vol's 19 and 25 for a complete explanation of this dilema.

As this is a matter of natural science, it is not a dogmatic article of faith in a spiritual sense. It is however a decision of the Roman Pontiff and it would probably be a good idea for Catholics to conform to his Authority. Ciao
