  • Geocentrism and Strict Canonical Interpretation by David Palm:  The new geocentrists and modern critics of the Catholic Church make strange bedfellows. Both unjustifiably assume that the Church bungled badly with respect to geocentrism, first declaring it to be official Church teaching but then reversing and saying otherwise…..but that isn’t the way it happened. The Catholic Church was more circumspect in her handling of the Galileo controversy than most people think and is not inconsistent in now holding that geocentrism is not a matter of faith. Find out why.
