I believe the Catholic Church disgarded Heliocentricism (Sun centered) for a century or two. They strictly believed in Geocentricism, enough that they threatened Galileo with torture unless he recanted his theory.

I doubt the church still believes in an earth centered galaxy anymore. At first, they accepted the sun centered theory, but were trying to say that earth was the only planet that didn't revolve around the sun.
