You are confusing Heaven with the heavens.

No; I'm not.

I'm pointing out the FACT that the high leaders of CatholicISM do NOT know what they so PROUDLY talk about!

Hmmm, your reply is pretty thin. Just because the Church was deficient in the knowledge of science doesn’t mean the Church is deficient in the preaching of the Gospel.

There is a room in the Papal Museum (I have been there and seen it) that houses one of Galileo’s telescopes, along with a plaque explaining his contribution to science.

God used the whole Galileo event to serve a couple of purposes. The first was to humble Galileo, but also demonstrate his humility through obedience. The second was to humble the Church leaders, and allow them to recognize the tremendous contribution of Galileo. Finally, the Church went further to promote scientific exploration as a means to better understand God.
