"And the sun stood still" Joshua 10:13

'Galileo: Scientist, Astronomer, Visionary' is an exhibition of the
works of the eminent Italian scientist Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) at
the Canterbury Museum. The exhibition's website declares that
"Galileo's radical theories about Earth's place in the solar system
saw him imprisoned by church authorities"
https://www.canterburymuseum.com/whats-on/galileo-scientist-astronomer-visionary/
and this claim is repeated by other media.

This legend of the imprisonment of Galileo is a fable. For presenting
as proven fact his theory that the earth moves, rather than the sun,
contrary to Scripture (Joshua 10:13), he was sentenced to house arrest
at his home near Florence and banned from publishing and meeting other
scientists. He ignored both bans and received a number of colleagues
at home. He also continued his researches and published groundbreaking
work on two new sciences.

What is the Catholic Communion controversy?
https://cruxnow.com/church-in-the-usa/2021/06/what-is-the-catholic-communion-controversy/
A committee of U.S. Catholic bishops is getting to work on a policy
document that has stirred controversy among their colleagues before a
word of it has even been written. The U.S. Conference of Catholic
Bishops overwhelmingly approved the drafting of a document "on the
meaning of the Eucharist in the life of the Church" that some bishops
hope will be a rebuke for politicians who support abortion rights but
continue to receive Communion ...
