Theories can change. That is the nature of science, peer review and new observations. When the science on heliocentricity was developed, religion tried to warp reality as we know it and shove Galileo under a rug. Inevitably, reality won out, but not without cost. See famous story below:

You're conflating the Catholic Church to cover all religions - as well as ignoring the politics behind the Galileo events.

You also seem to believe that Galileo was the creator of the heliocentric model. Please see my other reply. [0]
