We've covered this before in other threads, maybe you didn't see it. 

There was an official condemnation of the Mystical City of God by Mary of Agreda for these reasons

1. It violated the decree of Pope Urban VIII (March 13, 1625)
2. It narrated apocryphal stories.
3. It presented opinions of the Duns Scotus theological school as divine revelation.
4. Mary of Agreda pictured the earth in the form of an egg, i.e. that the earth has a spherical shape.
5. It exaggerated the cult of Our Lady to the extent of obscuring the great Mystery of the Incarnation.

152 Masters of the Sorbonne discussed the Mystical City on thirty-two sessions, July 2-14, 1696.  102 of the 152 Masters voted against the book. At all events, Blessed Innocent signed the condemnation on June 26, 1681.


Now, this shows a couple of things.  Number 1, how seriously dangerous the head of the Church and the bishops considered the spherical earth. They certainly did not agree.  But secondly, the pope doesn't seem aware that the snow globe world consistent with flat earth was probably what Agreda was describing. The way her description was worded suggested the earth itself was a sphere but maybe she wasn't trying to say that. In any event, they banned the book. As stated before, flat earthers see all of creation as a globe: with hell at the bottom, in the belly of the snow globe. Flat earth in the middle. And heaven makes up the top portion of the "globe".  This exact description is historically preserved in the traditions of Catholic culture as the "globus cruciger"*.  The Church is proven to be in defense of the flat earth against the pagan notion of spherical earth, even to the point of condemning Agreda's book.



 

Tradman, you have (purposely?) left out an extremely important fact related to the above narrative so let me fill it in for you.

The very Pope who you mention, Pope Blessed Innocent XI, who signed the condemnation of The Mystical City of God in 1681 "unsigned" it later the same year!  By "unsigned" I mean he completely reversed his condemnation by issuing a Brief that removed the Prohibitive Decree and, in opposition to that decree, the Pope decreed that The Mystical City of God was to be freely spread among the clergy and laity.

Anyone interested in learning the details of how the wrongful and erroneous condemnation came about in the first place and how it was then very soon completely overturned by the very Pope who made it may refer to either of the following entries:

One video seems to deny a south pole, and tries to show how it appears that a south pole may exist if only it could be seen. In his diagram, he shows a flat earth model shifted halfway into a ball earth model, and the path stars take according to his diagram just does not match up with the logic he originally presented for a flat earth. The other video seems to say there definitely is a south pole, but it is actually a distorted reflection of the north pole. So, it looks to me like 2 flat earthers contradicting each other, with one also contradicting himself.

In 748, Pope St Zachary, aware of the old Pythagorean heresy that intelligent beings lived on other worlds, authorised Boniface, Bishop of Meinz and primate of Germany, to ‘take counsel’ and excommunicate the abbot of St. Peter’s Monastery in Salzburg – an Irishman called Virgil – based on rumours about his professing belief in people beyond the reach of the Church existing on the other side of the Earth (the Antipodes). As it turned out, the rumour was half right. Didn’t Christopher Columbus later discover such people when his voyages from 1492-1504 reached South America but not beyond the Church as it happened, for these people were introduced to Christianity, receiving baptism and Christ’s redemption. Whatever became of these charges is somewhat of a mystery. As it happened, Virgil ended up being made a bishop in 766.

Long forgotten today, is another proposition condemned in 1459 by Pope Pius II, ‘That God created another world than this one,’ a censure that could be said to be a better example of the heresy of the Antipodes; lands containing intelligent creatures living beyond the reach of the Gospel as held by the Catholic Church, i.e., aliens. But again, Galileo’s reformation changed all that for churchmen:

‘LOOKING FOR ALIENS,’ by M. Wertheim. ‘Throughout his astronomical career, Father George Coyne, senior scientist at the Vatican Observatory Research Group, whose work has inadvertently dovetailed with our growing desire for extraterrestrial contact, a subject about which he remains optimistically equivocal…. Roger Angel says: “Before, you could only speculate about extraterrestrial life. Now we’re at a point where we can make telescopes with which we can actually go looking for life.” Looking out at the telescopes arrayed around us, Fr Coyne suggests that we might view stars as God’s sperm. Every sperm has the potential to produce life, he says. Father Coyne is confident that we are not alone. As a priest and a scientist, the marvel for him is the universe itself.’ -- Science & Spirit website.

Unfortunately, the south pole seems out of my practical reach.
