Canon of the Synod of Constantinople (543) Souls Raised Upright Not Spherically
« on: January 09, 2018, 10:48:27 AM »

Anathema against the notion of a spherical earth?

The Canons of the Synod of Constantinople (543 AD)

Canon 5. If anyone says or holds that at the resurrection the bodies of human beings will be raised spherical and does not profess that we shall be raised upright, let him be anathema.

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.
This quote is not from a flat earth Website, it is a canon of the Catholic Church.  The Fathers of the Church have been my constant companions for decades.  I continue to study them almost daily.  I can't make out another reason for this canon other than it suggests a condemnation of the heliocentric spherical notion of earth.  Hence the question mark.

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?
