I am an ex-Catholic. I was sacramentally baptized and confirmed; my wife and I were sacramentally married, in a Basilica; we have five children, all baptized. As a practicing Catholic, I went to Confession regularly. I have been forced to, over the years, to come to the conclusion (initially, a somewhat sad one), that Catholicism, in particular, and Christianity, in general, are man-made religions devoid of any supernatural revelation whatsoever. And, yes, the Church did, once upon a time, believe in a "sky dome":
Quote:208 Can. 6. If anyone says that the sky, and the sun, and the moon and the stars, and the waters above the heavens are certain living and material * powers, let him be anathema.
Quote:1818 3. If anyone shall have said that it is possible that to the dogmas declared by the Church a meaning must sometimes be attributed according to the progress of science, different from that which the Church has understood and understands: let him be anathema [cf. n.1800]. (First Vatican Council)
