The Cardinal stated ""To assert that the earth revolves around the sun is as erroneous as to claim that Jesus was not born of a virgin." Well, if you concur with the following two statements (as I presume you do): (1) The earth revolves around the sun. (2) Jesus was not born of a virgin. It follows that statement (1) is precisely as erroneous as statement (2) - i.e. not at all. So he was perfectly correct in his assertion! I wonder if he was hedging his bets?
