"Science" today has gone off the rails and I'd rather be associated with a Catholic than pagans any day.  You seem to think that science is automatically objective reality.  Is that true of NASA science?  

.
Wrong. What's gone "off the rails" today is ridiculous flat-earthism.
When you associate with flat-earthers you're associating with pagans all day long, not with Catholics.
Objective reality is what can be seen and measured first hand, such as the spherical earth can.
.
All flat-earthers have to fear is sphere itself.
.
Flat Earth Society adherents can be found all around the globle.

Its the globe earthers that hold the NASA/Copernican/Pythagorean/modern notion of the cosmos, so its the globers succuмbing to the indoctrination of pagans.
The fear of the sphere is all in the sphere of your mind. 
No one walks around the outside of a ball.  To date. 

That's a good question, which has not been answered.

If "everyone knew that the earth was a ball," then the flat earth would not have to be mentioned. Though I suppose that the idea of who "everyone" is, is to mean only those who are highly educated in mathematics and physics, since they are supposedly the only ones who are qualified to address the subject. They believe that they maintain the right to speak for "everyone," even if not everyone agrees with them.  

Catholics who do not understand highly advanced science aren't allowed an opinion, and therefore they can't be counted as "everyone." In fact, they don't count at all. Those who use scripture to show a flat earth, as the Fathers did, don't count, since they (we) were relying on Scripture, which has been "corrected" by science.

And as "everyone" knows, science is always right. Science is the new religion, and it requires obedience to its dogmas.

Right.  Besides, what part of society hundreds of years ago wasn't struggling just to stay alive? 95%? What percentage of men were turning in upper circles of academia, or even attending regular school to learn earth is a spinning ball?  2-5%?  What regular guy had the time or ability to attend such learning?  Telling an ordinary man, that he was standing sideways on a ball, would not have made much of an impression on the level headed and well grounded.  Terms like "level playing field" meaning, playing fair, and the use of the word "spin" in lieu of the word 'lies', are some of the etymological fallout for attempting to tell a regular guy earth is a globe.  The signs of pressured indoctrination existed then, but only came to fruition in our century, when more people had the luxury of owning or reading books, and later even more convincing, after man went to the moon and saw the globe earth.  As the centuries passed, the upper echelon were brought around to globe earth, no doubt, but the majority, the ordinary man, was brought up to full speed only in the last 100+ years or so.  So saying that the majority of men of the past believed earth was a globe is the depth of ignorance.

Non-Catholics all ready think you're a kook for being a Traditional Catholic. So go ahead and prove them correct.

Seal their condemnation of you as being off your rocker by giving them something they can sink their teeth into.

But don't come back here complaining to me when that happens. I've given you fair warning. 

The propaganda of the pagans did indeed infiltrate and many people believed the model.  But that doesn't mean the earth is a globe as they claim.  And no, just because pagans were teaching globe earth for 1000 years, that wouldn't make it a dogma.  Obviously, it has to be a teaching of the the Church.  The Church never taught earth is a globe.  

There is no magisterial teaching about the shape of the earth, neither that it is flat nor a sphere.  But Catholics, with the approval of the Church, believed and taught that the earth is a sphere, for over a thousand years.

The medieval universities (starting 11th century) were Church controlled institutions.  They received their status through papal bull or charter.  These universities taught that the earth is a sphere and every man who attended university would have accepted the sphericity of the earth.  

If this teaching were actually as opposed to Catholicism as you claim, why did the Church's official institutions for education teach it?

It is not simply that "many people believed the model."  There is no evidence that anyone believed anything else.  All educated people, with the full support of the Church, believed that the earth is a sphere.

I answered the question in post #72 of this thread.

Copernicus, a devil worshiper, setting himself against Lactantius proves every point I've made.  The father of persistent globers is the Evil One, and his science is their bible.

I agree. It is the depth of ignorance to say that the majority of men of the past believed in a globe earth. Most Catholics (and non-Catholics) were just trying to survive. What connection would they have to upper academia? Most of my forebears were farmers, in this country and in Europe before that. They had been farming for countless generations. They were very practical and had a lot of common sense.
I agree that the fruition of indoctrination only has come in our century, (and the last?). Before that, I would think that the average man would have thought it odd that we live on a ball, or that we all must absolutely believe that we are on a ball. But since we all now must put our faith in "science" instead of what we can observe and read in Scripture, and because the media and school system does not favor religion, we must bow to the great science religion.

I have to wonder what the professed globe earthers love more: the Church, or science?

.
Are you trying to make a name for yourself at the expense of others' reputations?

Maybe the problem is that happenby is a devil worshiper.
.
That would explain everything.

I doubt that she knowingly worships the devil, but he must be pleased with the false Catholicism that she tries to spread.  Real Catholicism does not even teach flat earth at all, while in her version she makes it the main focus.
