Okay, even the dogmatic comment is not correct. Most church leaders and scientists taught that the earth was a sphere and I can only find where individuals with religious affiliations had theories that the earth was flat with no official church teaching (dogma) on the matter.

I read the Wikipedia article and didn't find anything that contradicted the information in the sources I posted, though my sources included more examples of church involvement in science. The Wikipedia article, however, does appear to be much a work in progress document as many statements are still in need of a citation.
