The Catholic Church taught that the Earth is flat.

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the Catholic Church taught that the Earth is flat?

No. Two reference items state that the flat-Earth idea was falsely attributed to the Catholic Church and that the Church historically recognized the Earth as a globe. Both directly contradict the claim.
