"Geocentrism: earth is stationary, shaped like a globe…"
Please provide an accepted source, preferably Magisterium, defining that geocentrism demands GE.
In my geocentrism journey, I recall no such definition.
Well, the only reason I added Geocentrism shaped like a globe is because FEs are also technically geocentrists. I could have made that clearer. Well, at least the Catholic FEs are.
It was actually an interesting debate among the Fathers. So they ALL believed, to a man, that the earth is the center of the universe, but there was a debate about whether that meant vertically and horizontally, or just horizontally (while on the bottom). St. Augustine (while not necessarily siding) thought it's OK for the earth to be at the bottom of creation and it would still count as the "center" of the universe. Reason for the debate is that some argued that the heavier elements would sink to the bottom (due to density). Those who held that it was suspended in the middle of the waters were criticized for this belief due to this violating the notion of density. Then their opponents countered that, if they say this, the earth wouldn't be the center of creation. They did not believe in gravity, but St. Augustine posited something caused by the pressure of the water around it keeping it in suspension. That sounds similar to a pressure from ether that Tesla posited as an explanation for the phenomenon called "gravity", except for him this was from "ether". But it just seemed to be taken for granted that it was borderline heretical or anathema to claim the earth was not the center of the universe and of creation, and that's why St. Augustine had to defend the "bottom" theory against accusations that it overturns centrality.
So those FEs who may hold that the earth is at the very bottom would also fall under St. Augustine's defense of center bottom qualifying as center.
