The Copernican [ heliocentricity ] heresy so thoroughly reversed man's view of the cosmos, the social order and hierarchy of moral values, that it was as if a new species of being had arisen; no doctrine has had a more pernicious influence on the human spirit. The English, French and American revolutions stemmed from it, and it paved the way for Darwinism, Marxism, Nietzsche, atheistic existentialism and Einstein. But worse, it has led to the modern doctrine of MORAL relativism, that there are no moral absolutes, which results in anarchism, hedonism and despair; also meaningless, mechanistic impersonal materialism.
