Nah, I think it’s fairly representative.  Even though it’s in FE forum, it still shows up on the active topics list.  I would put those who didn’t vote in either the don’t know or don’t care categories.

The earth is flat. It's in Scripture. And how sad that 25% of Catholics here believe "modern science" and its deceptions.

That part does bother me.  I get the geocentrists who are not FE ... but the number of people who uncritically accept modern science doesn’t bode well for Traditional Catholicism.  When neo-SSPX promotes Fr. Robinson’s Modernist book, you know it’s over for them.

Science per se doesn’t mean Modernism of course, but to accept the claims of modern science requires doing violence to Sacred Scripture that is inevitably at least subtly Modernist even in the most conservative attempts.

Why do you think the Church has not condemned globe earth like they condemned helicoentrism?

Hmm?  The silence seems deafening.  I didn't mean to kill the thread with that one simple question.

For the same reason it didn't condemn evolution.
