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.
