What are the three reasons Galileo provides in his argument against condemning Copernicus book?
No-one condemned Copernicus's book. Galileo was told by the catholic church that he could teach Copernicus's theory as a way of predicting the planets' positions in the sky. But Galileo was forbidden from saying the Sun is actually at the centre as a fact, he was only allowed to present it as a theoretical argument. The church said that religious teachings could not be changed without sufficient evidence. Galileo however said he knew better and proclaimed the heliocentric principle as a fact. His problem was that he had a habit of ridiculing anyone who disagreed with him and that is what got him into trouble. Eventually Kepler's model of the planets' orbits, published in 1609, was accepted generally after Newton's theoretical discoveries backed it up, and it has been confirmed by numerous observations and measurements since then.

Why was the church against the heliocentric theory?
The truth is they weren't, they were against the way Galileo was presenting it. Galileo patron was the church his findings were enough for him to believe it was scientific law. The Catholic Church in an attempt to please Protestants accusing them of not taking the Bible seriously told Galileo to treat it as a theory. He refused after multiple warnings he was arrested for being insubordinate and the church went on to fund other people willing to treat the Heliocentric theory as a theory not fact.
Why did Catholic Church leaders oppose Galileo and heliocentric model of the universe?
Church leaders of the time were open to the heliocentric model, but it could not be proven at the time. Galileo was an arrogant man. He began to proclaim it as fact and leave the arena of Astronomy an argue in the theological realm. With the permission of his friend the Pope he wrote a paper on the model where he was forbidden to advocate for it, only present arguments for and against. In it he used a character to make argument the Pope made. The Pope saw this a ridiculing him and thus the trouble began.
Why was Galileo put in jail by the pope?
Galileo was never put in jail, he was put under house arrest because his teachings on gravity and the solar system was against the church.
