Apologies to you. You're right, your words didn't say the Fathers were heretics. Bede seems in this quote to be a bit of an anomaly, but the entire article is not present to view for context and its doubtful he would be the lone saint to deny what all the others taught, especially when the moving globe always has been the teaching of pagans. By the way, apology accepted.
There is no reason to think that all the other saints taught something different from St. Bede. (I can not find an English translation of his case for spherical earth online, but I can point you to the Latin. There is no question that he is unambiguously teaching a spherical earth.) Nobody can produce more than a few quotes from Saints who said the earth was flat.
St. John Damascene is considered the last Father of the Church. He wrote of summary of Christian doctrine as presented by the Fathers who came before him. He wrote:
"Further, some hold that the earth is in the form of a sphere, others that it is in that of a cone. At all events it is much smaller than the heaven, and suspended almost like a point in its midst. And it will pass away and be changed." This has got to be the most authoritative statement possible on what the Fathers thought. And this source says that some of the Fathers believed the earth is in the form of a sphere. Therefore we can safely say that all of the Fathers did not teach that the earth is flat.
Many cosmological models have been taught by pagans. A stationary flat earth model was taught by pagans, as was a moving globe and as was a stationary globe. We can't just rule out a model simply because pagans have taught it. There wouldn't be any left.
Far more important than what pagans taught is looking at what has been believed by Catholics throughout history. In the first centuries, as St. John Damascene said, Catholics disagreed. Early in the 5th century St. Augustine taught that Scripture did not teach the shape of the earth and this seems to have been accepted by everyone except Cosmas (who may not have known). Starting from St. Bede around 700, we see Catholics treating the question as a matter of science and teaching a stationary globe in a geocentric system. This belief lasted for about a thousand years and is what was taught at Catholic universities. If any model is to be identified as the traditional Catholic one, it should be this one.
Thanks for accepting my apology. I accept yours.
