Original Note:
This is a fake quote found nowhere in Magellan’s writings or in any record. The Church did not teach the earth was flat in Magellan’s time and its sphericity had been known and accepted by the Church for many centuries. https://en.m.wikiquote.org/wiki/Ferdinand_Magellan https://historyforatheists.com/2016/06/the-great-myths-1-the-medieval-flat-earth/
