Tab'le De'Bah-Rye Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Believing that the earth is the center of the universe is nihil obstat, nothing contrary to faith. Why? Because it doesn't particularly have anything to do with faith, therefore can not be contrary to faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tab'le De'Bah-Rye Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I can have an imaginary friend named boogaloo because it has nothing contrary to faith, unless boogaloo causes me to sin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tab'le De'Bah-Rye Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Boogaloo was a stupid example, sorry. Unsure how to explain what i believe on the matter, just that whether or not the planets and sun rotate around the earth or the earth and planets rotate around the sun, isn't directly going to effect Faith in Christ. That's what i think the magesterium and popes are getting at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
