Not to take away from the discussion, but got to ask, where is Fr Peter Scott originally from? From his accent, I'm wanting to say Australia or New Zealand, but neither one of those sounds quite right. Maybe South Africa? I honestly can't tell.
Not to take away from the discussion, but who exactly was Jason Winschel back in October 2003? Aside from perhaps being a man after Fr. Scott's own "scientific" heart, he was a junior high school teacher in a public school (no, I'm not making this up) who somehow gained the dubious distinction of being the author of a strange cover story in The Angelus (
http://www.angelusonline.org/index.php?section=articles&subsection=show_article&article_id=2235 ) in which he tried to square the circle on Galileo and the Church and in the process drew derision on the name of Robert Sungenis, the staunch defender and promoter of geocentrism. Sungenis politely requested a rebuttal in the pages of that magazine but was flat out denied the chance to do so.
It was the above article that first opened my eyes to the fact that there was something seriously rotten afoot in the SSPX "science department." Years later, when Father Beck oversaw the SSPX schools in the U.S., I specifically and personally asked him over the phone whether the policy of the schools was to teach geocentrism or heliocentrism. After much insistence on my part and obvious reluctance on his part, he finally blurted out to me the ugly truth that the schools taught heliocentrism and did not teach geocentrism. I meticulously docuŠ¼ented our conversation in an email to the U.S. District Superior at the time and requested a reply, but never received one.
