It's a good idea to posts the passages from Sacred Scripture, since the globe-earthers who post on these threads don't want to take Scripture into account, regarding the shape of the earth. They prefer to obtain their information from secular sources, like NASA.

The Church and the Bible do not require us to disbelieve what we can see with our own eyes.
.
The language used in the Bible is not precise when it comes to physical descriptions of our world, and can be understood in various ways.
.
Ambiguity is the enemy of the faith as we can see when Vatican II used it to destroy tradition.
.
All you have to do is observe the sun and moon every day and you can easily see their movement and appearance do not conform to a "flat-earth" model.
.
When what you read in the Bible conflicts with what you see in the sky, you must be reading the Bible incorrectly.
.
That is exactly what flat-earthers are doing. They misunderstand Scripture when they incorrectly interpret flat-earthism there.
.
You guys keeping up this charade of "holier-than-thou" mythology only makes you look ridiculous to anyone who is thinking about converting.
.
Why would they want to be part of a bunch of
nut cases and cretins?.
Ever since Galileo the enemies of the Church have attempted to accuse the Bible and the Church of being wrong, and they've got a lot of followers.
.
Their principle contention was heiocentrism, but today, scientists don't adhere to that anymore.
.
Even so, the schools still teach it in the classroom.
.
This is a big problem they've made for themselves, and you can see it come out when they try to explain the solar eclipse.
.
When asked why the moon's shadow moves from west to east, they turn themselves into knots, trying to avoid the problem they've made.
.
All they have to say is the sun moves across the sky faster than the moon moves across the sky.
.
Simple. That's why the moon's shadow moves from west to east, because the sun is passing up the moon.
.
But then they'd have to answer questions about the sun moving in the sky when they said the sun doesn't move.
.
If they were honest, all they'd have to say is to think of the earth not moving but the sun moving instead, so you can understand the eclipse.
.
But they don't say that, because they still teach heliocentrism.
.
They teach heliocentrism but they don't believe heliocentrism.
.
Therein lies the rub, as Shakespeare was wont to say.
