Geostaticism is the term I've seen scholars (e.g., Galileo expert Maurice Finnochiaro) use.
This word can be confused with geostatistics ..and statics has a different meaning in physics than immovable.
There's no single word in common usage to correctly express the Earth's centrality and immobility.... the proper name to use is open to suggestions.
..........
1- Now from 1905 the world of science has admitted H was never proven nor G falsified.
....
2- Relative motion was the best science could offer, with H & G only scientific possibilities.
.....
3- But why did Churchmen continue 'accepting' heliocentrism and the error that the 1616 decree had been falsified after 1905?
.....
1- In my world of science there are many who deny HC was never proven (even though the Big Bang is the current favorite) or claim GC was falsified.
There are the liberal mainstream masters who revel in their power and control over what science is to be believed....and then the herd of sheep that follow them in invincible ignorance.
Contradicted by Revelation, philosophical realism and the scientific method,
machts nichts - they slide further into the moral abyss.
2- Relative motion has been refuted for dynamical predictions from the laws of physics. Only GF is scientifically possible.
Why doesn't MS physics believe this?...after all, the experimental evidence satisfies the sci. method.
Because it would destroy the fable that Galileo proved the Church was wrong. Led by the prince of darkness they have chosen to love the darkness rather than the Light.
3- Intimidation certainly was a factor then as it is today. Christ and the early Christians stood up to mocking and ridicule; why can't the clerics of today?
In fact the early Christians lived every day, hiding in fear of the Jews.....cf. St.John
Same as they today, cassini.

..speaking of debunking... the floating ships on the horizon, beyond the curvature horizon, are well- known optical effects of temperature inversion. A layer of warm air over a cold one bends the light path(refraction) to form images that are beyond the horizon.
Bahahaha! Not a prayer. Temperature inversion? Warm air over cold? Smoke and mirrors? What rock did you dig this up from under? It has long ago been proven by many (including me) in every condition imaginable that ships that seemingly disappear great distances from a viewer have not disappeared behind the curve, rather, cameras zooming in prove ships to be visible on the horizon long after they "disappear". Without the help of the camera, it is ASSUMED the ship went below the curve because the unaided eye is unable to see it beyond a certain point. This is the kind of easy to find information you should check first before attempting to discuss something like flat earth.
Logically FE would be ignored using realism and the scientific method...But the FE folks don't subscribe to objective facts or reasoning. And the attempt to associate FE with the Earth's immobility and centrality makes it an annoying pest that distracts from the truth.
Links to the truth can be given - as below - but FE fans would just ignore them.
Here's an easy to find fact that makes FE disappear over the logical horizon.

It seems time for turnabout - where's that Hide button?
