Mark, Quo Vadis, and Yeti...
All 3 of you have no problem "going with your gut" and concluding that "V2 popes aren't real popes" even if all the details/explanations aren't worked out (that's the job of theologians of the future).
But yet, when the *same people* (i.e. V2 supporting globalists) push the lie about the "globe earth" you demand detailed explanations. ?? It makes no sense.
Open your eyes...the same satanist globalists who are behind the infiltration in the Church are behind the infiltration in sciences. The main difference being that they infiltrated sciences around the 1600s, which was 400 years earlier than the Church, so that the "science lies" they tell are much more "fine tuned".
But they are still lies told by satanists.

This is a good question. I'll give you two answers. First:
But yet, when the *same people* (i.e. V2 supporting globalists) push the lie about the "globe earth" you demand detailed explanations. ?? It makes no sense.
It's not even remotely accurate to say that the globe earth is a lie pushed by globalists today. The globe earth theory goes back 400 years before Christ, to Aristotle. It was universally accepted in ancient Greece. An ancient Greek mathematician Eratosthenes proved the earth was round, and measured the circuмference of the earth using a stick and some string, and was off by less 10%.
While I do find it a bit curious that big tech is censoring flatters today, I don't think the only explanation is that it's because they're right. They could just as well be wrong about the shape of the earth but right about other things big tech wants to censor. Actually, I believe that's exactly what's going on. A lot of flat earthers attack the fake science of today in other things as well as the shape of the earth, and I think that's why they're de-platformed. They attack things the globalists care about very much, such as the corona, the jabs, climate "change", the moon landings, 9/11/2001, and other things. And they attack the fake scientistic hegemony
in toto. That is why they are deplatformed, in my opinion. The reason big foot believers are not deplatformed is because they don't attack science as a whole; the reason flat earthers are deplatformed is because they do. In either case, it is Big Science that Big Tech is protecting, not the particular theory involved.
The other problem with your theory is that you are talking about well over half a millennium of Christian rule, in which the globe earth was unchallenged fact, under Catholic monarchs and holy popes. The entire civilized world, all of Christendom, has accepted the globe earth model for as long as they have even had to think about such things, since the beginning of the Age of Discovery, when they started to map the earth. When explorers started sailing all over the earth after Columbus, and mapping the continents and islands, they mapped them on globes. If this were some evil conspiracy, why didn't the Catholic kings step in and tell their explorers (and Catholic kings paid for these expeditions, just look at Columbus, Cortez, and so on) not to say the earth was a globe? Why did the whole of Christendom get filled with globes with maps of the continents on them, and not one single pope stood up and said, "Hey, what's with these globes of the earth everywhere that contradict Scripture and the Fathers? The earth is flat and the heavens are a dome above us!" I never heard of any pope or Catholic king saying such a thing for over five hundreds years. More than that, I never heard of a single Catholic king so much as using a flat earth model of the globe during that time. No, they all without exception used globes to map the earth until the present time. This means that the globe earth has nothing to do with satanists, globalists, atheists, freemasons or anything similar.
On the contrary, if you look at the history of flat earth theory, you will find that it was actually invented by a group of radical leftists in England in the 19th century, mainly Rowbotham and his buddy
Lady Elizabeth Blount, who was a leftist radical. To quote the Flat Earth Society's
own page, she was
she was also poet, songwriter and wrote pamphlets on a wide variety of subjects. Blount was a progressive thinker and humanitarian. She was a vegetarian and - like Marjory Johnson - an anti-vivisectionist, often using the Earth Not A Globe Review to "cover these subjects in flowing prose and verse, alongside references to her work as president of the Society for the Protection of the Dark Races".
There you have most of the leftist agenda in the 19th century -- animal rights, Black Lives Matter, socialism and progressivism. That's where the flat earth idea came from.
