Joshua 10 (Verse 13): And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day. [King James] 13 And the sun and the moon stood still, till the people revenged themselves of their enemies. Is not this written in the book of the just? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down the space of one day. [Catholic] Psalm 19 (Verses 1-5) 1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament
sheweth
his handywork. Psalm 104 (Verses 1-5) Isaiah 40 (Verse 22): |
A decree of February 19, 1616, summoned Qualifiers of the
Holy Office and required them to give their opinion on the two
following propositions in Galileo's work on the solar spots. (The
assessment was made in Rome, on Wednesday, February 24, 1616.)
Proposition to be assessed: (1) The sun is the center of the world and wholly immovable from its place. Assessment: This proposition was unanimously declared
"foolish
and absurd. philosophically and formally heretical inasmuch as it
expressly contradicts the doctrine of the Holy Scripture in many
passages, both in their literal meaning and according to the general
interpretation of the Holy Fathers and the doctors of theology." (2) The earth is not the center of the world, nor immovable, but it moves as a whole, also with diurnal motion. Assessment: This proposition was unanimously declared
"deserving
of the like censure in philosophy, and as regards theological truth, to
be at
least errouneous in faith." |
