  • From Martinez book:


    St Hippolytus of Rome:


    "..enormous and infinite heresies of the disciples of Pythagoras. "


    Pythagoras cult taught globe earth and heliocentrism.

  • Why did Pope Urban VIII say the false Pythagorean doctrine was "the most perverse subject matter that one could ever handle"?

    Because it involved pedophilia, orgies, sodomy, and ritual child sacrifice.

    The cult of Pythagoras was the continuation of the demonic mystery religions he learned in Egypt: the Kabbalah.

  • Cardinal Bellarmine denounced the theory thst the earth moves, calling it the "false Pythagorean doctrine.

    Galileo also credited Pythagoras for the idea the earth moved.

  • "Pythagoras posited the place of punishment in the sphere of fire, which he saod is in the middle of the whole world. However, it is more in keeping with Scripture to say that it is beneath the earth." St Thomas Aquinas "Whether the Fire of Hell is Underground"

    St Thomas! What distinction is being made here? That hell is not in the middle of a ball earth but under the flat earth? Sure sounds like it.

    Interesting: so you have something against teaching. 
    It's a spiritual work of mercy to instruct the ignorant, but what do you call it when the ignorant refuse to learn?
    Like when flat-earthdom syndromers want nothing to do with the truth because it's "indoctrination!" 
    .
    You can't make this stuff up. Thank you.
