Let's see how many times the Bible mentions a sunset, the sun going "down", and a sunrise.

Genesis 15:12
And when the sun was setting, a deep sleep fell upon Abram, and a great and darksome horror seized upon him.

Genesis 15:17

Exodus 17:12
And Moses' hands were heavy: so they took a stone, and put under him, and he sat on it: and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands on both sides. And it came to pass that his hands were not weary until sunset.

Exodus 22:26
If thou take of thy neighbour a garment in pledge, thou shalt give it him again before sunset.

Leviticus 22:7
And the sun is down, then being purified, he shall eat of the sanctified things, because it is his meat.

Deuteronomy 16:6
But in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, that his name may dwell there: thou shalt immolate the phase in the evening, at the going down of the sun, at which time thou camest out of Egypt.  

Deuteronomy 24:13

Deuteronomy 24:15

Joshua 8:29
And he hung the king thereof on a gibbet until the evening and the going down of the sun. Then Josue commanded, and they took down his carcass from the gibbet: and threw it in the very entrance of the city, heaping upon it a great heap of stones, which remaineth until this present day.

Joshua 10:27
And when the sun was down, he commanded the soldiers to take them down from the gibbets. And after they were taken down, they cast them into the cave where they had lain hid, and put great stones at the mouth thereof, which remain until this day.

Judges 5:31

2 Samuel 3:35
And when all the people came to take meat with David, while it was yet broad day, David swore, saying: So do God to me, and more also, if I taste bread or any thing else before sunset

The sun riseth, and goeth down, and returneth to his place: and there rising again,

Isaiah 45:6
That they may know who are from the rising of the sun, and they who are from the west, that there is none besides me. I am the Lord, and there is none else

Luke 4:40
And when the sun was down, all they that had any sick with divers diseases, brought them to him. But he laying his hands on every one of them, healed them.  

Must be a mistranslation, right? We all know the sun doesn't actually rise or fall, or "set"... or do we? God wouldn't dare allow any kind of poetic language based off of man's limited perspective make it into His inspired Scripture! Good news is that the sun is also a male. That's what it says right?!!?

No backside of the sun, bud.  Proven a myriad of times by many people.  I'd post a video, but ppl don't seem to view them.  Get yourself a Nikon P900 and sun lenses and view for yourself.

You'd be standing around for days because that's how long it takes for a sunspot to move across the face of the sun and yes, disappear from view.

No I don't 'get it' mw2016, Could you show us the de fide dogma that tells us heaven is above the earth and hell below, a dogma binding under pain of mortal sin.

He descended into hell.
On the third day,
He arose again from the dead.
He ascended into Heaven,
Sitteth at the right hand
Of God, the Father Almighty,
From thence He shall come,
To judge the living and the dead.

The idea of antipodes, people that walk upside down on one side of the earth as opposed to others is condemned by the Church:

The great authority of Augustine, and the cogency of his scriptural argument, held the Church firmly against the doctrine of the antipodes; all schools of interpretation were now agreed--the followers of the allegorical tendencies of Alexandria, the strictly literals exegetes of Syria, the more eclectic theologians of the West. For over a thousand years it was held in the Church, "always, everywhere, and by all," that there could not be human beings on the opposite sides of the earth, even if the earth had opposite sides; and, when attacked by gainsayers the great mass of true believers, from the fourth century to the fifteenth, simply used that opiate which had so soothing an effect on John Henry Newman in the nineteenth century--securus judicat orbis terrarum.  (the secure judgement of the whole world)

Bishop Isidore of Seville (560-636) taught in his widely read encyclopedia, The etymologies, that the earth was round.  While some writers have thought he referred to a spherical Earth, this and other writings make it clear that he considered the earth to be a disk of wheel shaped.  Isidore did not admit the possibility of people dwelling at the antipodes, considering them as legendary, and noting that there was no evidence for their existence.  The Esoteric Codex: Dynamics of the Celestial Spheres

At the very least, these (and I got plenty more) statements and proofs bear serious weight and show the Church maintains the literal interpretation of scriptural flat earth. Catholics should not summarily dismiss these things when their understanding of some of the dynamics of the earth do not add up for them.
