   The anti geocentric catholics make a big deal about the difference   
   between formal heresy and just a heresy.  They wanted the Pope to not be   
   associated with a formal heresy charge, but even they admitted that the   
   Inquisition had made heliocentrism into a formal heresy charge when   
   Galileo first faced the charge.  The anti geocentrics just claim that   
   the Inquisition case against Galileo was not adopted by the court when   
   the Pope got involved.  So both Catholic sides of the issue know that it   
   was deemed to be a formal heresy.  One side just does not want it to   
   have been a formal heresy charge when the Pope was involved.  The wiki   
   also notes that it was deemed to be a formal heresy the first time   
   Galileo faced the charge.
