Our Divine Lord Jesus Christ said:
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my word shall not pass away [St. Mark 13:31]
St Paul the Apostle said:
All scripture, inspired of God, is profitable to teach, to reprove, to correct, to instruct in justice, That the man of God may be perfect, furnished to every good work
[2 Timothy 3:16,17]
Pope Urban VIII (1615); Against Heliocentrism Heresy for Geocentrism Truth
"...The Congregation of the Inquisition, by order of Urban VIII, promulgated expressly for the benefit of the Catholic men of science, – that, on Galileo's impeachment before the Holy Office in 1615 for his doctrine on the fixity of the sun and the motion of the earth, and for his manner of dealing with the objective passages of Scripture, the following steps were taken by that holy Tribunal to obviate the inconveniences and prejudices which were arising and prevailing to the injury of the sacred faith:
1. By order of the Lord Pope, and the Lord Cardinals of the supreme and universal Inquisition, two propositions were qualified by the theological qualifiers of the Holy-Office, as follows:
That the sun is in the center of the universe and immovable from its place, is absurd, philosophically false, and formally heretical, because it is expressly contrary to Holy Scripture.
That the earth is not the center of the universe nor immovable, but that it moves, and also has diurnal motion, is absurd, philosophically false, and, theologically considered, is at least erroneous in faith.
