There's a guy named Bob Sungenis and his sidekick Robert Bennett who have some Catholic Apologetics website where they advocate geocentrism. Strictly kooks. Bennett is the "scientist" of the group. Whereas in the past a kook would be ignored by normal people, now every kook can have his own website!! The number of Catholics with an education past fourth grade who believe in geocentrism could be counted on one hand, probably. These guys are like "Pope Michael" and other sedevacantists. Sungenis used to say that the moon landings were a hoax. They cannot be reasoned with. They know the TRUTH, and probably not even God Himself appearing in a cloud and telling them they are idiots would shake their belief in their own infallibility. Basically, Sungenis still has the fundamentalist Protestant mindset:
it's me and my bible.

No he doesn't. Fundamentalist Protestants are philo-Semitic, but Sungenis has bought into the notion that everything from the Federal Reserve to the UN to the Scofield Reference Bible is the plot of The Jewish Conspiracy.

Ironically, I used to correspond with him and was not bothered in the least by his geocentrism (I'd be tickled pink to learn the first great scientific revolution was a fraud). It's when he went nutso blaming the Jews for everything that I dropped him like a hot coal. Orthodox Judaism (unlike even the most conservative Catholcism) teaches that the Torah was dictated by G-d letter for letter, Moses writing it down, but some ultra-right Catholics apparently even blame Biblical criticism on the Jews. Sick, sick, sick.
