I think non-Catholics, and disgruntled, fallen-away Catholics, just come here to bring laughter upon Catholicism by posting such nonsense. Either that or they have Internet access from a mental institution.
I understand that it seems crazy to think that the earth is flat. I used to think the same thing. I, for one, have no intention of bringing laughter upon Catholicism, or, rather, traditional Catholicism. I find the evidence for a flat earth to be quite compelling, even though I'm not 100% convinced.
The problem with the flat earth belief, IMO, is that there are few truly Catholic references or studies on the subject. Most of the material that supports a flat earth comes from pagan or protestant sources. The pagan sources are the most problematic for me.
It is a problem. I've been howling at the tiny moon since 2008. When Eric Dubay finally showed up about three years ago, I have to admit, I enjoyed seeing him come on the scene because he really understood that earth was flat. To this day, he is one of the best for clarity and content, but his paganism is outrageous and disheartening, making him less than adequate as a decent resource. This is why I talk about flat earth where ever I go. Its been a long and difficult haul, but we need Catholics to rebuild what is necessarily Catholic! We need people to go through Church docuŠ¼ents, read saints and unearth gold. And believe me, its out in them there hills! We need researchers, youtubers, teachers, apologists, priests who can handle the heat, brave moms and dads! Catholics must become aware that the diabolical disorientation spoken of by Sister Lucia is not only spiritual, but it is physical as well. There is no question that this great apostasy we are enduring today is firmly rooted in science falsely so-called.
I appreciate your thoughtful post above.
The problem I see with someone like Eric Dubay, is that his extreme anti-religious views (which have been at times blasphemous against God), are likely to muddle his thinking in areas other than religion. I mean, if someone has such extreme flaws in his thinking regarding religion, can he really be trusted to think properly on other things, such as a flat earth?
This is just my opinion, but, since knowing whether or not the earth is flat or a globe is not required for our salvation, it seems that having to read through the sometimes vile views of Dubay can be a problem. Sometimes we do, of course, have to read through awful things to get at the truth of matter. I guess it's up to each of as to how much vileness we can take in an effort to get at the truth.
The Dominicans of Avrille (whom I admire greatly) have said on their website that they don't really care for the term "Resistance," since we are not defined so much by what we are against, but rather we are defined by what we are "For." They prefer the terms, "Battle for the Faith," or "Combat for the Faith," since these are more accurate descriptions of what the Resistance is all about. I hope that makes sense.
