Your mis-information is virtually complete, sweeping as it does across several different fields of knowledge. Galileo's problem with the church was over the solar system, not the shape of the earth. If you're at all curious, I have some useful Galileo links at my homepage.
Did I say Galileo was in trouble over the shape of the earth? I think I said he was in trouble over defying prevailing wisdom and the Pope. I may have mispoken as quickly as I'm typing; but, I don't remember saying that.
