Except the Chuch does have a consistant and clear faith defined in dogmas, doctrines, et cetera. I have found that young people really don't pay much attention to what they are being taught and it isn't surprising that people years later as adults don't really know much about what the Church teaches.
I think it best if Catholics try to stick with the Catechism and put blinders on to all of its history which has now been consigned to the dustbin of the Vatican. That includes such lovely dogmas and doctrines as the flat earth.
Only new agers don't know history and give authority to anything above the bible. That's not any kind of Christianity that I'm aware of.I don't think it is Catholics who put blinders on regarding history- afterall, "To know history is to cease to be protestant."
The theory of a flat Earth wasn't a dogma or a doctrine. It was a commonly held belief in the ancient world.

Anything placed above Jesus is not accepted by Him. And he is the Word. Faith in action is in response to the HS but it must be checked by the word of God first.I don't know of anyone that gives authority to something above the bible. I do know many Christians that do see the bible as their only authority, which is irrational and not part of traditional history.

Jesus isn't the bible- but again, I don't know anyone that places authority above the bible.
You certainly know man's doctrine well.
good luck if you don't.

Gallileo was teaching heliocentricity. There was no dispute over flat vs. spherical earth.I am not sure that everyone did know that, but it is a fact that many believed it to be true several hundred years before the birth of Jesus Christ. However, that fact did not stop the Catholic Church from declaring dogmatically that the earth was flat and that anyone such as Galileo Galilei who declared otherwise was a heretic and was to be excommunicated.

Catholic Scholasticism of the middle ages was evil. However, modern Protestant Scholasticism has set us free from all the errors that Christians believed for 2000 years. <sarc>Or maybe they weren't as wrong as current Protestants are?
It was a commonly held belief in the ancient world.
I will second that ...
That refers to it being a commonly held belief that the earth was flat.Greetings dear friend
