To me the strongest piece of evidence is the temperature variations and the seasons being consistent with specific tilts of the earth towards the sun. I also do not understand how flat earth theory is consistent with sun-rise and sun-set being at different times in different parts of the world in a pattern & movement that's consistent with the earth being a globe and the sun revolving around it (yes, I'm a geocentrist).

Earth does not tilt. It cannot, for it is stationary.

The "tilt" or change in angle of the sun's rays is due to it's location over the earth at different seasons. The angles are different when the sun is further away (winter) or closer (summer). Law of perspective.

Pope Pius XII on the globe of earth:
"Today, there is not perhaps a problem, which may interest and occupy so much, the most eminent researchers of the modern world – physicists, chemists, astronomers, biologists and physiologists – and even the modern lovers of natural philosophy, as much as the subject of the laws which govern the order and action of matter, and of phenomena operating in our globe and in the universe. Indeed, fundamental questions are dealt with, whose solution is no less decisive for the object and aim of every natural science, as important also for the metaphysical comprehension, rooted in objective reality."

To me the most compelling piece of evidence is that I work on the computers that help airplanes fly. Anybody here flown in a commercial jet? If the world were flat, you'd be dead, because none of it would work. Cheers.

So Pius Xll bought into the globe earth nonsense. He's wasn't the only one.

What I find interesting is that while Pope Pius Xll canonized St. Catherine Laboure, he did not use the words of Our Lady (to St. Catherine Laboure) to proclaim that the earth is a globe.

If Our Lady's message to St. Catherine Laboure was meant to include a definition of how the earth is shaped, well, I can't find anywhere that Pope Pius Xll thought that he had reason to define the shape of the earth, from what Our Lady said to St. Catherine Laboure.

.
Since when does the Pope have to wait for a message from the Blessed Virgin before announcing a definition?
.
So let's get this straight. When Pius XII "bought into the globe earth nonsense" he also bought into the Catherine Laboure nonsense too? Or what?
.
Were Our Lady's words to St. Catherine endowed with the note of infallibility regardless of what the Pope had said or done? What if the Immaculate Conception had not been defined yet in 1858, would Our Lady still have said, "I am the Immaculate Conception" to Bernadette Soubirous? When, pray tell, has Our Lady ever given a message to anyone, public or private, that has provided any kind of theological or universal definition?
