>Can you give a source for your claim? That's what we were taught in school in Europe. I don't know source/s for Church supporting Flat Earth but I know that Medieval Church was supporting Geocentric model and opposing Heliocentric astronomical model. Galileo Galilei was victim of this dogma: "Galileo's championing of Copernican heliocentrism (Earth rotating daily and revolving around the sun) was met with opposition from within the Catholic Church and from some astronomers. The matter was investigated by the Roman Inquisition in 1615, which concluded that heliocentrism was foolish, absurd, and heretical since it contradicted Holy Scripture." "Galileo later defended his views in Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems (1632), which appeared to attack Pope Urban VIII and thus alienated both the Pope and the Jesuits, who had both supported Galileo up until this point. He was tried by the Inquisition, found "vehemently suspect of heresy", and forced to recant. He spent the rest of his life under house arrest."[0] I would need to further research or ask some historians what was Medieval's Church formal(official) and informal(unofficial) opinion on Flat Earth vs Spherical Earth.
