Galileo Galilei Was Wrong (?)

The world revolves around me. Wait, I'm the erffs.
I always mention that conservative Christians still debate things like Roe v Wade and the Scopes Monkey Trial and evolution in general...but this takes the cake. There a Catholic peeps that are bringing back that good 'ol model, and by that I mean incorrect, of an erffs centered universe. Forget science, the Catholics are speaking.

"Heliocentrism becomes dangerous if it is being propped up as the true system when, in fact, it is a false system," said Robert Sungenis, leader of a budding movement to get scientists to reconsider. "False information leads to false ideas, and false ideas lead to illicit and immoral actions — thus the state of the world today.… Prior to Galileo, the church was in full command of the world, and governments and academia were subservient to her (LA Times)."
Maybe Islam is correct. Ya know, turtles and elephants.

So it's not science, it's a conspiracy to take away the power of the church, after all these centuries...and experiments...and that proof that skeptics and scientist keep talking about...it a conspiracy. Luckily every sane person that was interviewed for the article says, don't trip...we are sun centered, or heliocentric.

And then again there is this wiki quote...

A proportion of the public still believes in the geocentric model. Approximately one in five Americans and Britons believe that the Sun revolves around the Earth, according to surveys in 1999, 2006.[75][76] Approximately one third of Russians believe in the geocentric model, according to a survey in 2011.[77]
Howz about everything revolves around this.
I dunno call me crazy...I believe science.

*LA Times article on the loonies that want to return to an erffs centric model.
