...insisting that the Earth is flat or that the Moon is made of green cheese doesn't actually break any Church rules.
Are the Fathers unaminous on those matters?

I would say they are unanimous on the moon not being made of green cheese, so I will just have to accept that it isn't I guess.
Is there no record Jesus telling us, in writing, signed and witnessed?
I don't think so, so that must mean that it is.

Er, or that it isn't.

How wonderful. I hadn't even realised that any of the Fathers had addressed the lunar verdant cheese issue. Unanimous, eh?
Well, I take their non-addressing of it as unanimity against the theory, but maybe it was unanimity in favour of it.

It sounds like a modernist novelty to me though.
More akin to nem con methinks.

Yes, Clare, it can get rather confusing trying to second guess people's opinions about things they never actually spoke about.
