He didn't because the Catholic Church was correct. Most Church leaders, including the pope, agreed with Galileo's hypothesis but asked him to stop teaching it as fact unless he had absolute proof that it was correct. He could not provide proof but continued teaching it anyway. He even went so far as to publish insulting remarks about the pope who was, perhaps, his greatest supporter. Copernicus, the scientist who originally developed the theory before Galileo, had no problems with the Church because he did not teach it as scientific fact.
Of course, today we know that Galileo was correct in his thinking because of advancements made in science. However, at the time Galileo neglected to use diplomacy and that got him into hot water.
