There are a few caveats: since modernity is a child of Protestantism, it reproduces all its dogma, and more importantly, all its pretentious self-flattering propaganda.
The church was actually quite open to helio-centric theories - their criticism was infact quite scientific viz. that Copernicus' theory had errors that exceeded prevalent geo-centric ones. The biggest theological attack came from the Protestants (Calvinists and others alike), which pushed the Church into taking a literalist/fundamentalist stance.
Rationalism, Modernism, Liberalism etc., which are children of Protestantism are so invested in their silly pedigree that they'll go to no extent erase their past.
Amusingly, Liberals were amongst the greatest defenders of slavery and colonialism. As were 'rationalists', the greatest defenders of eugenics (and colonialism).
Heidegger for instances saw through all these moronic pretenses, and despises all these idiotic PR attempts for what they really are. Pity, we don't see the deep malaise here since the only philosophy we are taught now is the silly stuff that came out of the Anglo-American world.
