Can somebody please share how they explained the information on the geocentric issue with the Catholic Church and Galileo to their children? It's my understanding that the information in Apologia's General Science book (Module 1) is not correct, but I am not educated enough in this area to know the answer, and online searches are confusing. Thanks.

I haven't seen Apologia's General Science book so don't know how it is presented - but obviously would not be surprising for it to be inaccurate.

That is a topic that almost always would need to be corrected/presented with Catholic side to supplement most textbooks. So, the resource I think that is really helpful for that is Mary Daly's book Copernicus, Galileo, and the Catholic Sponsorship of Science

The Catholic Answers website has an informational article here. I printed this out and had my 7th grade daughter read it when we got to the Galileo part of Apologia General Science.
