"Consensus" in 1633 was the Pope making Galileo kneel as he was found “vehemently suspected of heresy.” He was then forced to “abandon completely the false opinion” of Copernicanism.

And the Pope was acting in accordance with the scientific consensus of the day.
It has been argued that the Pope wanted Galileo to PROVE his belief, which he couldn’t at the time, so it was the Pope who was being more scientific. The long and comprehensive Wikipedia article “Galileo affair”, shows that the issue is not clear cut. Also, if Galileo believed that the sun was the center of the world, then he was wrong - we now know that it’s not even at the center of our galaxy.
