Even old Christians knew the earth was a sphere. The "Catholics believe the earth is flat" was something said by someone AGAINST Catholics, not because it was true.

They knew for sure. They just didn't know much about the layout and mechanics of the solar system. The Earth centric model was the thing. But only because they didn't have good enough tools to observe otherwise. When they got better telescopes and mathematics, learned better.
