'Fundamentalism assumes that the Bible is fundamental. Catholicism retorts…that the Bible is not a book but a collection of books, and hence the question more fundamental than Fundamentalism is: Who gathered the books together, and declared that they would constitute a Bible, and be regarded as the revealed Word of God? To answer this question is to get to a body beyond a book, namely, a Church with spirit; for Pentecost was not the descent of books on the heads of the Apostles but the descent of tongues. From that day on it was to be a tongue and a voice, and not a book, that would be fundamental in religion.'
+Fulton Sheen - What a guy! Love that quote. A Church with Spirit. It's all about the 'leap of Faith' for us and an assent to dogma using our free will, our informed conscience and the Grace of God.
Fascinating! And I guess there's a 'firmament' above when you look to the sky and, yes, it really looks like our (flat) earth is being circled by the sun and, at night, you can see the man on the moon.
You can be the next man I see up there FAZ,I'll say a prayer for you to St Dymphna
