If you are seriously asking this question, then I suggest you read more of the Fathers and not just what flat Earth websites post about them.
So what does "raised spherical" mean? That doesn't even make sense. Please provide the original language text.
I do not know what "raised spherical" exactly means, except that it is countered by "raised upright". I do not have the original Latin and hoped someone here could provide it for further understanding.
I did a quick search but couldn't find anything. Where did you find this translation?
I found this from Theophilus of Alexandria against the errors of Origen. And we know that this Synod of Constantinople set out to condemn the errors of Origin.He says that Origenists held that the SHAPE of the body when raised from the dead would be spherical (because it's the ideal shape or something). So this doesn't have anything to do with Flat Earth.https://books.google.com/books?id=93mCAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA142&lpg=PA142&dq=raised+spherically+from+the+dead&source=bl&ots=jVWFpD7LPO&sig=2VJEaDbpB13mLZjXe7pot8CAEJI&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj45OSNucvYAhVB5IMKHX7WCKwQ6AEINzAF#v=onepage&q=raised%20spherically%20from%20the%20dead&f=false

Excellent find. Makes sense, except one thing: "raised spherical" as opposed to "raised upright". So, I'm swayed, but not entirely convinced. I'll keep looking, but the cloudiness surrounding the Councils of Constantinople, the politics of the time, and the problems with Origen make it almost impossible to get clarity. :-[
I'm guessing that the term "upright" here means something like "standing upright".
This is Fr. Pfeiffer's error in his video: he thinks a sphere is the perfect shape, but that is the error of Pythagoras, as I recall. Which would make it an esoteric belief.
I wonder if that has any connection to Sun Worshipping.
