Let's keep this extremely simple. Flat Earth Theory absolutely cannot exist with Longitude and Latitude as we know it and have navigated by for hundreds of years. This is especially true of the southern hemisphere which is necessarily vastly expanded to fit this bizarre claim. The distortion is just incredible even before you get to Antarctica.
A longitude/latitude accurate version of flat earth holds zero resemblance to a circle. Mostly you get a sunburst effect. If you attempt to preserve the land masses, you end up with something like an orange peel. No matter how you cut it, the earth would have so many gaping chasms that sea navigation would be rendered impossible.
Seriously? So, you use an assumed theory to disprove another theory? C'mon now. That is not the Catholic way. None of the Early Church Fathers embraced Heliocentricism. All were Geocentric. Let me ask, where is the curve?
IF the earth is a globe, and is 25,000 English statute miles in circuмference, the surface of all standing water must have a certain degree of convexity--every part must be an arc of a circle. From the summit of any such arc there will exist a curvature or declination of 8 inches in the first statute mile. In the second mile the fall will be 32 inches; in the third mile, 72 inches, or 6 feet, as shown in the following diagram:
FIG. 1.
Let the distance from T to figure 1 represent 1 mile, and the fall from 1 to A, 8 inches; then the fall from 2 to B will be 32 inches, and from 3 to C, 72 inches. In every

mile after the first, the curvature downwards from the point T increases as the square of the distance multiplied by 8 inches. The rule, however, requires to be modified after the first thousand miles. 1 The following table will show at a glance the amount of curvature, in round numbers, in different distances up to 100 miles.
This means that the earth must curve away from one standing "at the top" of the globe or at any one position (assuming ridiculously that there is no "top" but that every thing is relative) and the horizon will drop below the line of sight, but it doesn't drop. Even when looking out from a mountain, the horizon remains level with the eye. The horizon remains level with the eye even when in a plane. That is impossible if there were curvature.
According to the science and the mathematical formula above, here's how much curvature must exist for the earth to be a globe...
At 1 mile, the earth should curve away 6 ft.
At 10 miles it would be 66ft.
At 90 miles it would be 5400 ft or > a mile
No curvature like this is ever seen.
Earth is not a globe. Heliocentrism is false.
It is well-known that science has been at war with Christianity through the centuries. Protestant scientist, Gerardus Bouw explains to what degreee. "Historians readily acknowledge that the Copernican Revolution [i.e., the idea that 'the earth moves and turns'] spawned the bloody French and Bolshevic revolutions... set the stage for the ancient Greek dogma of evolution...led to Marxism and Communism...It is reported that Marx even acknowledged his indebtedness to Copernicus, without whom Marx believed that his ideas would not have gained much acceptance...It is thus a small step to total rejection of the Bible and the precepts of morality and law taught therein."
Many people believe Copernican science has proven the earth to be round (just one aspect of heliocentrism) largely because they think they have seen round earth from space. For now, there is no concrete proof NASA messes with photos and videos, but the study of their photos and cgi videos bring many questions.
Please provide me with one, just one, non - CGI video of the ball earth spinning in space. With all those telescopes, Hubble and satellites, going to the moon, one would expect to see at least ONE video of earth. Not even a single photo of earth exists. All are doctored images, as NASA readily admits.
Earth is not a globe, it does not spin, it does not move.
Heliocentricity, once rejected by society at large has certainly become widely accepted, even to the point of scorn, for those that do not believe it. With its roots traced back to Kaballah, Jєωιѕн mysticism is the creator of that false science. New Age spirituality, illuminism, and kabbalistic teachings have become popular in modern culture, yet how few realize that heliocentricity was the science behind those religions? While it was bandied about throughout the centuries, even considered possible by some saints, heliocentrism was really only accepted in elite learning circles of gnosticism until Galileo came along in the 1600's. From there, the development of heliocentrism from fable into accepted fact is well-docuмented in the book, The Pontifual Decrees Concerning the Motion of the Earth.
Earth is not a globe.
