Re: Orthodox and geocentrism, flat-earthism, etc.

Bishop Maximus of Pelagonia starts off this topic by acknowledging the consensus patrum , admitting that "all the Fathers of the Church believed that the sun revolves around the Earth," but then goes on to belittle or demean them, implying they were naively or blindly beholden to the prevailing ...
