Catholics who interpret Scripture according to Providentissimus Deus are acknowledging the authority of the Church to interpret Scripture (as defined at Trent).  Such Catholics are not placing scientists above God.  They are just thinking like Catholics instead of Protestants.

The Fathers, Saints and Doctors of the Church who believed the earth is a globe also believed that Scripture is inerrant.  That is, after all, what Catholics ought to believe.

Nobody would be declared a Father, Saint, or Doctor of the Church unless he believed that Scripture was inerrant.  I have already given examples in this thread of those who believed the earth is a globe and I see no point in giving more.  There are too many to give a complete list.

It would be interesting to see which Fathers taught a globe earth by relating it to inerrant Scripture. I think that most of them related it to what they believed to be inerrant science. Or science that made more sense to them than inerrant Scripture. They may have been sincere, but they did not see where the belief in a globe earth would lead - which would be to the detriment of mankind and the Church.
