My take is that most Christians no longer fear God in this way.  It is
why most Catholics are just fine with the Heliocentric heresy.
Heliocentrism was never removed as a heresy in the Church.

Galileo's works were on the Catholic prohibited list until way into
the 18th century.

It was only
down graded, to a more minor heresy

There is no such thing as a "minor" heresy. There are degrees of
heresy including one of being *suspected* of heresy which was what
Galile was charged with.

Galileo's views were found to be "contrary to Holy Scriptures" and as
such were not to be held, defended, or taught.   Galileo swore up and
down that he wasn't interested in the Copernican ideas he had
published on, but no one believed him, and he was sentenced to house
arrest for the short remainder of his life.
