People who still believe the world is flat are a minority. 9/11 conspiracy believers are a minority. Does that make them pioneers? Galileo was persecuted by the most fundamentalists of creationists. Maybe if creationism was a NEW and ORIGINAL theory like say Darwin's Origin of Species when it came out then they could make that analogy, but it's older than the world being center of the universe, and it only loses more credibility year after year unlike evolution.

They want people to think that they are new thinkers that are bucking the trends of the old fashioned thinkers.
It's an cute trick but transparent to anyone over 10 years of age.

That is easy.Because people freak out just as bad as people of Galileo's' time.If they suggest an alternative view people get very upset.I can prove it.Where did the original matter come from the big bang?Are you upset?What is the probability of evolution?An saying because it happen as a factual statement.

The Galileo analogy only applies if you are correct. So, they are using it incorrectly.

They don't follow Catholic teachings. That's the extent of the similarity.
