The so-called "infinite dignity of man"?Don't know that term. I see the purpose in the death penalty, if everything was working in God's best interest (ie there is a Catholic Pope and they are actively condemning errors). It would give people a chance to reconcile before they meet their maker, but we have had 60 years of crazy and a whole bunch of new technology that has never been really talked about by the Church. Also we have been told that the demons were given more power during this time. Have you watched the movie Nefarious? We are in the midst of Spiritual warfare. A war you can't see. A war were the Angels, especially Guardian Angels are waiting for us to use them, by prayer and penance.
Should Fr Rostand be eligible for the death penalty?We don't know FACTS about what he did to make that judgement.
Well, truth matters. Not only the Catechism, but everything that is truth is of our interest.So we can agree that if a vast amazing discoverable universe makes me feel closer to God's Awesomeness and a flat earth with the Saints looking at us like a snow globe makes you feel God's Awesomeness, then it doesn't really matter which one is right. Only God knows that, and as long as we are contemplating God. All is good.
If God cared enough to put some cosmology in the book of Genesis, it means that it has some importance.
It seems to me that to imagine that we are on a blue ball that floats on a endless black space makes us distant from God. On the other hand, if we believe that the world has some kind of roof (the firmament) and that Our Lord and Our Lady and all the saints and angels are watching us, it somehow makes us more aware of God. It does to me anyway.
Of course that are many saints who did not bother to investigate if the Earth was round or flat, and they are in Heaven anyway.
If it works for you, it is just as good. But other people might benefit from this kind of knowledge. It has certainly been good to me to think about this kind of thing.
So what are those pictures of? Are you implying because his software couldn't track properly it is faked? The way I think this photography works is that it takes many snapshots in a time period and then those images are combined together and rendered to create the photo you see. Granted I am guessing.
It is also could be that shutter on the camera has to stay open for a lengthy amount of time to capture the image. The computer is just used to make the photo more crisp from all the shaking of the camera. Again I am guessing.
Why does Saturn appear like a globe and Earth is not a globe? Please direct me to a FE model that shows how the stars planets and all hang in the sky in relation to this flat earth. Are you implying that we are in like a snow globe? Doesn't that put limitations on God? Why can't God create a vast Universe for us to discover? I really don't know why I bother. I mean really the fact people like to argue these things is silly. God isn't going to say oh you thought my Universe is (fill in the blank), you are going to hell. You need to believe in God and follow his rules. It is just that simple. Science is just what humans do to figure out what God already put into place.
