Original Note:
Galileo wasn’t involved in debates about Earth’s shape—it was already known to be round. His controversy arose from supporting heliocentrism, which claimed Earth orbits the Sun, contradicting the geocentric model backed by the Catholic Church. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo_affair https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heliocentrism https://www.catholic.com/tract/the-galileo-controversy
