“The Church theologized (geocentrism) for sure, but that was more because it simply accepted the science of the day...”

That seems reasonable and probable. The Biblical story of creation likewise no doubt reflects the “science” of the day. Do you think that where the Bible is in conflict with the science of the day, the Church should adjust its teachings likewise?

The Church has stated on numerous occasions the Bible is inerrant, and while Genesis might not be a "history" in the strictest literary sense, it nevertheless truly describes what happened.

So no it should not. Besides...the science of the day is a chimera. In 1959 most readers of SciAm believed in a Steady State Universe. That changed awful quick.
