FWIW, educated people, and most certainly the Church, haven’t believed the earth to be flat for at least 2500 years now.
For a very long time people did believe the Sun revolved around the spherical Earth, because that’s what the available evidence indicated.
So for point 1, the Church never taught that.
For point 2, AFAIK, nobody was ever burned at the state, for other thoughts. Galileo was subjected to intimidation and lenient house arrest.
You forgot these;
“Money is doing some strange things to science people who should know better.
Global Warming is coming, some call it Summer.....

I will add: Global Cooling is on its last legs, or as some would call it Winter!!
