Every post you make ridicules the Church because you pretend to be Catholic.
.
You have yet to name a single priest in the Church who says you're doing the right thing.
.
Have you ever brought this topic up to a priest?
.
Would you even listen to what he has to say to you in regards to your flat-earthism?
.
Or would you be honest and throw it back at him demonstrating the same obstreperous nescience you show here?

I have brought this up to several priests. One of them grasped it completely and played devil's advocate against the heliocentric globe. Sadly, I moved away right after that and haven't had an opportunity to revisit this with him. No doubt he went back and got re educated by fellow priests who have never heard of flat earth, but that's to be expected. The other two were resistant, but not because they had intelligent answers, but only because they figured the heliocentric model is reality, and that I must have missed science class my whole life. Globe earthers love to repeat what their science teachers taught them never realizing how silly that is. As if my schools never taught science? That common response to flat earth is kind of sad, really. Another priest I know of, but haven't spoken to, has accepted flat earth. He is a Resistance priest, but remains low key for obvious reasons.

Thank you for a reasoned response. (Unlike your previous one.)
.
Since you're unwilling to divulge the name of the priest who you say "has accepted fat earth" I'm left with three possibilities.
.
A) The priest is just telling you (or whomever) what you want to hear so he doesn't have to deal with it, in which case he's not being honest.
B) You're just saying you know of such a priest when the truth is you WISH you knew of such a priest.
C) He does in fact exist but lacks the courage of his convictions, perhaps because he has not had to answer the questions that I have asked you, which you have certainly not bothered to show to this priest so he can learn from thinking about reality, not fantasy.
.
If I've missed anything let me know.
.
BTW
I take umbrage with your accusation that I repeat what my science teachers taught me, because that is absolutely false.
I take great care not to repeat the errors of many teachers I have had -- at the time, I got marked down for pointing out their errors.
Again -- you are resorting to a strawman when you insist on introducing "heliocentrism" to the discussion.
I realize that's what you've learned from your mentors like Eric Dubay the ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ atheist, but maybe you like it that way -- if you didn't like it that way, you wouldn't keep imitating him over and over and over and over and over and over.................

Since the priest who knows the earth is flat is real, you'll have to rest on your assumptions about his reasons for holding back.

Umbrage or not, you're constantly copying and pasting from blogs who parrot modern science.

Nope. I knew earth was flat long before Eric Dubay showed up online. He's just happens to be an atheist who is somewhat able to reason. Perhaps it will bring him to a Catholic conversion some day.

When you embed your apparent responses inside your quote boxes from other sources it means you don't want any reply.
Because any quote of your post won't have content. So nobody can easily refer to what you said.
.
Consequently, what I wrote stands unopposed:

I actually thought that the flat earth was a joke but then I realized there are some mentally deranged people that just deny all our calculations without bringing in any of their own.
