Well on that point Neon - I can't speak to defending CATHOLIC teaching - as catholicism isn't Biblically based. The question here is does the BIBLE teach a geocentric view, not whether Catholicism did at one time. The BIBLE does not teach such a thing. As I pointed out in an earlier post to tribesman, quoting some guy who was elected to wear a big pointy white hat who has alot of things wrong with his whole theology does not mean the Scripture is what he says it is. I could claim that the Torah says the moon is made of green cheese - doesn't mean its so (and its not - that was an example). To say that the Bible teaches a geocentric view is wrong.

Now StealthHunter quoted what appeared to be a non-latin Bible (though which version is in question) - and to understand its meaning we must look at the hebrew wording. I used KJV only as an example, one could use any number of other translations - but it all goes back to understanding the language it was translated FROM. Thus my note on the Hebrew word apply regardless of the "variant" of the Bible you choose to use.

I won't put forth any effort defending Catholicism. People can believe what they choose. Bottom line here is that SCRIPTURE doesn't claim the earth is stationary or teach a geocentric view.
