You may be interested in this answer I wrote a few years back on the closely related question of why did (or in this case didn't!) the medieval church have such a strong position on the nature of the solar system.

The short answer to how this would affect your status is: Not a whole lot. People in the Middle Ages were really concerned about this sort of cosmological speculation. (You'd actually be more likely to get in trouble for asserting the Aristotelean position that the existence of void is of necessity impossible.)
