The Catholic Trumpet: The Fight for God’s Cosmos - Stone - 01-13-2025
Geocentrism, Masonry, and the Fight for God’s Cosmos

The Catholic Cosmos: A Call to Rediscover Truth
For centuries, the Catholic Church upheld a God-ordained vision of the cosmos, rooted in Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition, and the unanimous teaching of the Fathers. This geocentric understanding reflected the divine order, with the earth at the center of creation and humanity as its steward under God. It was not merely a scientific position but a theological truth, safeguarded by the Magisterium as part of the deposit of faith.
Yet, modernity rejected this truth, embracing heliocentrism, the Big Bang, and Darwinian evolution—philosophies rooted not in empirical evidence but in rebellion against God. These errors, shaped by Kabbalistic mysticism and Judeo-Masonic subversion, sought to dethrone God and obscure His providence.
This article uncovers the spiritual battle for the cosmos, exposing the roots of modern cosmology in anti-Catholic ideology. By rediscovering the Catholic vision of creation, we prepare to defend the immutable truths that modernity has abandoned.
The Spiritual Battle for the Cosmos
The Kabbalistic Foundation
Jewish mystical texts like the Zohar reinterpret creation as emanations—divine sparks scattered in an infinite void—rejecting the ordered cosmos revealed in Genesis. This Kabbalistic cosmology denies the finite, hierarchical creation that places man at its center under God. Instead, it promotes an infinite, purposeless universe, aligning with modern cosmological theories like the Big Bang and evolution.
“In the beginning God created heaven and earth” (Genesis 1:1) affirms creation’s order and God’s sovereignty, directly contradicting the chaotic, impersonal cosmos envisioned by Kabbalistic mysticism.
Isaac Newton’s Mechanistic Cosmos
Isaac Newton, celebrated for his "scientific contributions", was deeply influenced by alchemy and esotericism. His theory of gravity—introduced in 1666—proposed hidden forces governing the universe, replacing God’s direct governance with mechanistic laws.
Newton’s mechanistic worldview reflects Gnostic principles, reducing creation to a self-operating machine. His documented engagement with alchemy underscores his departure from Catholic cosmology, which holds that:
“In Him we live, and move, and have our being” (Acts 17:28).
Freemasonry’s Role in Spreading Error
Freemasonry, condemned repeatedly by the Church, served as a vehicle for the Synagogue of Satan (Rev. 2:9, 3:9), promoting cosmologies hostile to the Catholic Faith. Pope Leo XIII warned in Humanum Genus:
“Their ultimate aim is to drive God out of society, replacing His authority with human autonomy.”
By advancing heliocentrism and infinite space, Freemasons undermined Scripture and Tradition, enthroning human pride over divine revelation. This subversion culminated in the cultural and spiritual errors of modernity.
The Church’s Response: Geocentrism as De Fide
The Testimony of Scripture and the Fathers
The immovability of the earth is affirmed throughout Sacred Scripture:
• “The earth standeth forever” (Ecclesiastes 1:4).
• “The sun riseth, and goeth down, and returneth to his place” (Ecclesiastes 1:5).
• “Thou hast founded the earth upon its own bases: it shall not be moved forever and ever” (Psalm 103:5).
The Church Fathers unanimously interpreted these passages literally. St. Basil the Great taught:
“Scripture describes the universe in a way that places the earth as the center of God’s creation.”
Papal Condemnations of Heliocentrism
The Magisterium explicitly condemned heliocentrism as contrary to faith:
• In 1616, Pope Paul V approved the Congregation of the Index’s decree declaring the proposition that “the sun is the center of the world and entirely immovable” as “philosophically false and at least erroneous in faith.”
• In 1633, Pope Urban VIII reaffirmed this condemnation during Galileo’s trial, stating:
“The doctrine that the earth is not the center of the universe… is heretical, because it contradicts Sacred Scripture.”
• In 1664, Pope Alexander VII codified these decrees in the Index of Forbidden Books, emphasizing their binding authority.
St. Robert Bellarmine: Defender of Scripture and Tradition
St. Robert Bellarmine, a Doctor of the Church, provided one of the most authoritative defenses of geocentrism in his 1615 letter to Paolo Antonio Foscarini. He argued that the literal interpretation of Scripture regarding the immobility of the earth and the motion of the sun is unanimously supported by the Church Fathers, modern commentators, and Sacred Tradition. Bellarmine writes:
“The Council [of Trent] prohibits interpreting Scripture contrary to the common consensus of the Holy Fathers; and if Your Paternity wants to read not only the Holy Fathers, but also the modern commentaries on Genesis, the Psalms, Ecclesiastes, and Joshua, you will find all agreeing in the literal interpretation that the sun is in heaven and turns around the earth with great speed, and that the earth… sits motionless at the center of the world.”
Bellarmine emphasized the profound importance of adhering to the Fathers’ consensus, writing:
“Consider now, with your sense of prudence, whether the Church can tolerate giving Scripture a meaning contrary to the Holy Fathers and to all the Greek and Latin commentators. Nor can one answer that this is not a matter of faith, since… it is a matter of faith ‘as regards the speaker.’ And so it would be heretical to say that Abraham did not have two children and Jacob twelve, as well as to say that Christ was not born of a virgin, because both are said by the Holy Spirit through the mouth of the prophets and the apostles.”
Bellarmine also warned against abandoning Scripture even in the face of supposed scientific “proofs.” He stated:
“If there were a true demonstration that the sun is at the center of the world and the earth in the third heaven, and that the sun does not circle the earth but the earth circles the sun, then one would have to proceed with great care in explaining the Scriptures that appear contrary, and say rather that we do not understand them than that what is demonstrated is false.”
Yet he remained firm in his conviction:
“I will not believe that there is such a demonstration, until it is shown me. And in case of doubt one must not abandon the Holy Scripture as interpreted by the Holy Fathers.”
Bellarmine’s letter reflects the Church’s unshakable commitment to fidelity to Scripture and Tradition. It stands as a timeless testament to the theological, not merely scientific, truth of geocentrism.
Why This Matters Today
The acceptance of heliocentrism marked the beginning of a philosophical and theological rebellion against God’s order, paving the way for modern errors like Darwinism and the Big Bang. These theories deny divine providence, reduce humanity to an accident of nature, and enthrone atheistic materialism.
Pope St. Pius X warned:
“Modernism leads men to destroy the very foundations of faith under the guise of scientific progress.”
The spiritual consequences of heliocentrism are evident in the errors of Vatican II, which embraced religious liberty, ecumenism, and collegiality—principles condemned by prior popes. +Archbishop Lefebvre recognized this trajectory of compromise, proclaiming:
“We want to remain faithful to Our Lord King, Prince, and Ruler of the world.”
Rediscovering Geocentrism
The Catholic vision of the cosmos is not a relic of the past but a cornerstone of faith. By reclaiming geocentrism, we honor God’s design and resist the errors of modernity. The abandonment of geocentrism marked the beginning of the trajectory that culminated in the errors and heresies of Vatican II, which enshrined principles of religious liberty, ecumenism, and collegiality—compromises condemned by the preconciliar Magisterium. Worse still, the subsequent compromises of the new SSPX and the false resistance have perpetuated these errors under the guise of fidelity to Tradition.
Next week, we will explore geocentrism in greater depth, demonstrating how Scripture, Tradition, and the saints affirm this doctrine as a reflection of God’s perfect order. Trusting in the Immaculate Heart of Mary, let us prepare for the restoration of all things in Christ by standing firm against the ongoing eclipse of the Church.
No Compromise. No Retreat.
