Thanks Mat123. The edition you referred to has been edited but not published yet.
I have written a mini version of the effect the Galileo case has had on churchmen, a 50 page edition
and having it printed up.
Here are the first two pages.
‘The heaven is My throne, and the Earth a footstool for My feet.
What house will you build Me says the Lord,
or what shall be the place of My resting?’ (Acts 7:49)
Here above, in Holy Scripture, we find the Lord God, using the analogy of the fixed Earth of the Holy Bible as His footstool, asking what kind of Church will mankind build Him on His place of resting, the Earth. So, two-thousand years later, let us recall what happened, and see where His ‘footstool’ is today.
On the eve of the Amazon Synod held on October, 5th 2019, 10 Catholic lay leaders warned of the revolutionary designs against the Catholic faith from inside and outside the Catholic Church. Hosted by the pro-life group, Voice of the Family, the discussion, titled “Our Church, Reformed or Deformed,” featured a number of Catholic men active in trying to preserve what is left of the traditional Catholic faith on Earth in our time. One speaker summarised when and how this modern ‘reformation’ began in the Catholic Church:
‘Satan uniquely entered the Catholic Church at some point over the last century, or even before. For over a century, the organizers of Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ, Liberalism, and Modernism infiltrated the Catholic Church in order to change her doctrine, her liturgy and her mission from something supernatural to something secular.’--- (Taylor Marshall, LifeSiteNews, October 4, 2019.)
So, what happened in the last century or before that gave birth to Modernism in the Catholic Church by way of ‘Satan’ introducing changes from the traditional supernatural doctrine of Catholicism to a faith based on the secular that led to the demise of traditional Catholic faith on Earth? Well, from 1757 to 1835 and thereafter, for the first time in the history of the Church, popes began to adopt and promote a secular story of Creation rather than abide by the supernatural one of traditional Catholicism. In Scripture, it literally states in many places, that the sun (and stars) turn around God’s footstool, the Earth, created fixed at the centre of the universe (geocentrism), a revelation held by all the Fathers and popes of the Church up to that time. Accordingly, the early Church had condemned as heresy the old pagan belief that the Earth moves around a fixed-sun (heliocentrism). This 1820 Biblical U-turn by popes, was based on their delusion heliocentrism was proven by Isaac Newton, Stellar Aberration, Stellar Parallax and Leon Foucault’s pendulum. This was the same Biblical meaning proposed by Galileo who claimed that the references to a moving-sun in Scripture were metaphors, not literal, an assertion rejected by Pope Paul V in 1616, with Galileo being tried later in 1633 by Pope Urban VIII’s Inquisition, at which he was found guilty of suspected heresy. It was this change of Biblical meaning that began the revision of Church doctrine, her liturgy and her mission from something supernatural to something secular.
Quote: ‘As a result of the collapse of geocentrism, which the Church has come to accept, she is now caught between her historic-dogmatic representation of the world’s origin, on the one hand, and the requirements of her most fundamental dogmas on the other, so that she cannot retain the former without to some degree sacrificing the latter… In earlier times until Galileo, there was perfect compatibility between historical representation and the Fall and dogmas of universal Redemption, and all the more easily too, in that each was modelled on the other… Today we know with certainty that the stellar universe is not centred on the Earth, and that terrestrial life is not centred on mankind.’----Fr Teilhard de Chardin SJ. Christianity and Evolution, Collins, 1971, p. 36.
Throughout its history, the Catholic faith has warned its flock that Satan is the ‘Father of lies,’ capable even of fooling the elect (Matt. 24:24), those men who preside over the running of the Catholic Church. According to Genesis, Satan had successfully tempted Adam and Eve, the first two human beings, with the promise if they ignored God’s order not to eat the forbidden fruit, then they would gain more knowledge than that given to them by God. The consequences of this Original Sin brought suffering and death to all humanity thereafter. The Devil obviously knew if that lie worked with Adam and Eve, why wouldn’t the very same lie work with their weakened descendants? So, let us begin with the first most important Catholic doctrine to be eliminated by Satan’s deceit, ‘Who made the world?’ The supernatural answer, ‘God made the world,’ an act of faith both dogmatised by Councils and inserted in prayer:
‘God…Creator of all visible and invisible things, of the spiritual and of the corporal; who by His own omnipotent power at once from the beginning of time created each creature from nothing, spiritual and corporal, namely, angelic and mundane, and finally the human, both of the spirit and the body.’ (Lateran Council IV, 1215).
‘All that exists outside God was, in its whole substance, produced out of nothing by God. (De fide.) (Vatican Council I, 1870)
‘I believe in one God, the Father almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth,
and of all things visible and invisible.’—(Nicene Creed)
The Book of Genesis, written by Moses around the 5th century before Christ, under the auspices of the Holy Ghost, reveals that God created all, in its whole substance, over six days, 4,000 years before Christ was born. ‘Substance,’ we know from classic philosophy, means ‘what something is,’ finished, and not journeying to what something can become or will become.
Day 7: So the heavens and the Earth were finished, and all the furniture of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made: and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done.--- The Book of Genesis.
