Philip, If a church or person lines themself up with the scriptures -- is it
the person or group or church or the scriptures that are besmirched when
somebody supposedly comes along and "proves" the scriptures, or
interpretation of those scriptures, wrong?
The RC church has in the past agreed with the scriptures at times and at
times not. Likewise with any man or group you care to name, bar none.
But it is the Scriptures that are our standard of authority -- not the men
or groups who deign to interpret those scriptures.
God gave authority only to Jesus and to His Word -- not to any manmade
tradition. The church is the body of believers, those who have "received
the love of the truth," -- not necessarily members of any certain group or
church.
As the Bible says, all believers are priests unto God.

this allows the evolution/creationists, (slow creation LOL) a reason to make
controversy of it. I t was the work of a "protestant" Irish Catholic
priest, who did not accept the TRUTH about Genesis, who set about to prove
that certain decrees were infallible, simply to make the Infallibility
doctrine, and the Church stupid and wrong, because as he believed,

stationary sun" Fr. Roberts..

> 24th May 1543: Nicolas Copernicus' De Revolutionibus Orbium Caelestium is
published with ecclesiastical approval on the day of its author's death. The
study argues in favour of heliocentrism in several places but is prefixed by
a preface explaining that heliocentrism is advanced only hypothetically.
This preface was commonly assumed for some years to have been written by
Copernicus himself, though it is now established that its true author was
Osiander.

of the Inquisition listed among the unorthodox propositions taught in his
writings several in favour of heliocentrism, based on Copernicus. Pope
Clement VIII deleted these from the list of propositions he was to abjure.
Bruno was burned at the stake.
