I think heliocentrism would eventually fall out of favor. Regarding evolution, that theory would be highly controversial. Darwin may not have even published On the Origins of Species out of fear of persecution. As a former Catholic, I can tell you that many modern Catholics are far more open to new ideas about science than most other Christians are.
