Why do you think the catholic church objected to the galileos theories so strongly?
He was charged with heresy, a serious crime in those days, for contradicting the church's belief that the Earth is at the centre of the Universe. The church said that if there was proof of this idea, they would have to have a rethink. But in court Galileo could produce no proof and he recanted. But later in the 17th century after Galileo's lifetime scientific discoveries led everyone to accept that the Sun is at the centre of the solar system (but not the Universe).

Why did catholic church leaders oppose Galileos heliocenric model of the unniverse?
They opposed it because at that time there was no evidence strong enough to abandon the old geocentric theory. Science did not have the evidence until the later theories of gravity and the laws of motion were discovered, and it was then possible to calculate that the Sun is so much more massive than the rest of the solar system that it must be at the centre. The church leaders knew about the heliocentric theory and asked for the evidence to support it, which was not available at the time, as was proved at Galileo's trial.
