Galileo: Right About the Spheres, Wrong About The Bible

December 1, 2007 in General, History | Tags: , , , , , | Leave a comment

galileoarp300pix.jpgSome readers may remember my post criticizing the attempt to mainstream transsexuality in California and the responses it garnered from a transsexual advocate. This advocate, named “Marti”, began by saying that it did not surprise him/her/it that such an unscientific view would come from one whose Church took 300 years to admit that Galileo was right, or somesuch nonsense.

The old canard about the Church condemning Galileo’s theory of heliocentrism is one which, like the Whore of Babylon and the KofC’s Secret Oath, never seems to go away.

Dinesh D’Souza writes a good piece in favor of a proper understanding of history, one which should now be considered required reading by anyone considering trolling my blog in the future.

Readers Respond to FIB

I just want to congratulate you . . . for the great work you’re doing on your blog. I’m fairly new to blogging myself, but your blog seems to get a lot of traffic and it’s very well done. You certainly are “giving back” in a substantial way, and thus providing a wonderful service to the Church. . . . I’m going to visit your site more often and will offer comments as I can.

-Leon Suprenant, Past-President, Catholics United for the Faith

I much enjoyed your conversion story . . .. Your other material is also very interesting.

James Likoudis, Past-President, Catholic United for the Faith

Even though we’ve always had differing opinions on things like politics and religion. I have always felt proud of your conviction, even in our younger days. I have always felt I was a better person for knowing you . . ..

You rock.

-Eliza Pointer Lee, Childhood Friend

God bless you for standing up for Christ and His Church.

-Dan Hunter

Keep up the good cyber-work.

-Jim Herrick, Lexington [Kentucky] Latin Mass Committee

I enjoy the blog.

-Rev. Msgr. Charles Pope, Pastor, Holy Comforter, Washington, D.C.

Your blog lacks all the pretension and egoism that characterizes the vast majority of the blogosphere, and as such, is to be counted among the few, the proud, the only blogs worth reading.

-JPM, Frequent Commentator

I perused your site and was quite pleased with what I saw. Adding you to the blogroll now.

-Mike from Conservative Donnybrook

. . . it may be encouraging for you to know that we occasionally (read: approximately once monthly) mention your blog on our morning show. Because of your diligence, we were able to prepare adequately for a Padre Pio interview this morning. Keep up the good work.

I like the blog, too.
