Where? I haven't read the entire Bible, but I'm not aware of this
being stated so explicitly.

I've never experienced any church which actually limited itself to
teaching only the contents of the Bible. All kinds of authors get
thier licks in via story books written for Sunday school, new
Hymns, pamphlets, and such.

From what I remarked about:

====
1. The proposition that the sun is in the center of the world and
immovable from its place is absurd, philosophically false, and
formally heretical; because it is expressly contrary to Holy
Scriptures.

It says "Holy Scriptures". I guess there could be some other than the
Bible. Just wondering exactly where in what "Holy Scritpure" the
charge is referring to.

In this case, "Holy Scriptures" refers to Genesis _as interpreted by
church leaders_ - who are, of course, divinely inspired and never wrong.
I would say that's what the phrase always means.

Now I'm almost a little surprised because the church did astronomical
observations and calculations to correct the Julian calendar and start
the Gregorian calendar in 1582 and this persecution of Galileo happend
later in the 1600's. And didn't anyone happen to notice that the
position of the sun relative to "the fixed stars" repeats itself in
the same yearly cycle as the solstices? This should have been a clue
but I guess no one picked up on it! (Every star rises about 4 minutes
[I think it's 3m 56s] earlier each night, completing a "trip" in a
year. See "sidereal day".)

These observations are entirely consistant with a stationary earth, and
moving sun and stars - and other planets revolving around the sun. Not
until Newton was there a really good physical reason to choose between
those systems.
