Galileo Was Wrong, the Church Was Right

First Annual Catholic Conference on Geocentrism

"They Know It But They're Hiding It"
 
Galileo Was Wrong is a detailed and comprehensive treatment of the scientific evidence supporting Geocentrism, the academic belief that the Earth is immobile in the center of the universe. Garnering scientific information from physics, astrophysics, astronomy and other sciences, Galileo Was Wrong shows that the debate between Galileo and the Catholic Church was much more than a difference of opinion about the interpretation of Scripture.

Scientific evidence available to us within the last 100 years that was not available during Galileo's confrontation shows that the Church's position on the immobility of the Earth is not only scientifically supportable, but it is the most stable model of the universe and the one which best answers all the evidence we see in the cosmos.

Texas Board of Ed: Textbooks Are Anti-Christian

Texas: Texas' State Board of Education - following a long history of throwing itself into "culture war" issues - is set to vote Friday on a resolution calling on textbook publishers to limit what they print about Islam in world history books.

The resolution cites world history books no longer used in Texas schools that it says devoted more lines of text to Islamic beliefs and practices than Christian beliefs and practices.

Board member Pat Hardy, R-Fort Worth, suggested the issue may be moot because none of the books cited are still being used in Texas, having been replaced in 2003, and said they "might want to go back and get newer copies of the books."

The girl, now 18, told the Deseret News last year that she had fallen in love with Pratt as he groomed her and concocted elaborate plans for their future together. He vowed they would run away and get married when she turned 18, despite the fact that Pratt is married and has four children — one born just weeks ago.

Yet Monday, she told him a strong voice: "Today I want to make it clear to you, I am no longer blinded by your craftiness, my eyes are wide open," she said. "I am no longer your puppet, your toy, your game."

New Stats On Pedophile Priests

From our friends @ City Of Angels

The number of pedophile priests found so far in the U.S. Catholic Church is "extrapolated" to be as high as 10,969 according to Bishop Accountability.org, and they are still counting.

The numbers get higher internationally as courts order release of documents in American and European dioceses. "The percentage of paedophile priests is 20 to 200 times higher than the incidence found in the secular population," according to a report by Vania Lucia Gaito.

The U.S. bishops have reported receiving allegations of abuse by 5,768 priests in 1950-2009, or 5.3% of the 109,694 U.S. priests active since 1950.
