The Vatican Observatory is one of the largest and most advanced observatories in the world dedicated to astronomical research and education.
Let us proclaim the mystery of our faith: Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again.

Lord I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.

Stating that the RCC is or ever was against scientific advancement is one of the most ignorant statements a person can make.

Didn't they force people to believe the earth was flat for a long period?
And also that the earth was at the centre of our solar system?

No, but i'm sure you could find an article that claimed that.
I would do some further reading into the Galileo trial.

There's a few fascinating book that are very fluent reads about it. "The Trial Of Galileo" is an excellently researched one that I, personally loved. Big myth killer.
