How do Flat Earth Catholics explain these devotions?

I am not a strong round Earther myself but I am curious as to what flat Earthers have to say about the Miraculous Medal and Infant of Prague.

Typically, the Salvator Mundi image of Christ is shown with an orb as a representation of His dominion over creation. But, this doesn't prove anything about the shape of the earth, and it isn't intended to. Later works, such as the Immaculate Conception image you have there, depict the earth itself as a sphere. Which is merely an artist's interpretation of the world being at Mary's feet or the earth as God's footstool.

It doesn't prove anything, really, as these images are not dogmatic pronouncements themselves on the shape of the earth. The Church has made no such pronouncements, only that geocentrism is true.

And that's a reason to use the crap ideas of one Eric Dubay to say that the Reichsinsignien of the 1000 year Holy Roman Empire, starting on 25th Dec 800 with the coronation of Kaiser Karl, and ending with the capitulation of the last Kaiser on 25th Dec 1800 when the troops of Napoleon were close to Vienna, were a false representation of reality?

The Miraculous Medal image was based off what St. Catherine Laboure saw. I know it is private revelation but I am pretty sure nearly everyone on this forum accepts her visions as legitimate.

In fact the earth is shaped like a globe, but we live on a flat surface within it.  There’s a firmament dome over the top and the bottom part is what’s beneath with the earth, where hell is.  All the ancient conceptions of the earth look like that.
