They were actually the theories of Copernicus, Galileo just supported them and tried to make the argument that we should look to science before we look to scripture when trying to solve mysteries in nature. The church reacted by putting him on trial under penalty of death and torture, letting him shoot his mouth off quite a bit more than people got away with back then (since he was a bishop and a personal friend of the pope) and eventually forcing him to recant his "heresy" to avoid being tortured and executed, and banned his writings for 200 years, by which time his findings were readily accepted.

∙ 10y agoYou probably mean "Sun-centered" solar system.
The Roman Catholic Church, very slowly, came to accept the Sun centered system.
Galileo's famous book "Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems" was only finally removed from the Church's banned list around the year 1835.
About 20 years ago, the Church finally stated that Galileo had been wrongly
persecuted for his ideas and that his ideas were correct.
.
Catholic AnswerThe Church initially approved of Copernicus's theory (unproven) that the solar system revolved around the sun, although the treatise De revolutionibus was on the list of forbidden books from 1616 until 1757. Galileo took up this theory and, unfortunately, tried to have the Church accept it without trying to harmonize it with Scripture and he was, shall we say, not exactly polite about it. His bull-headed approach and sharp wit earned him many enemies among the Church fathers who had to review his works, and his complete lack of empirical evidence (which was not his fault, science had not yet advanced far enough to prove his theories) earned him his trial and imprisonment, brief though it was. None of the Popes ever ruled in favor of either theory, the Popes, for the most part have always been on the side of science (witness the Pope's endorsement of Copernicus). Galileo may have been improperly treated, but it was all his own fault. It took the Church another 100 years to recognize the merits of his work, when an imprimatur was bestowed on it. Remember that neither Copernicus nor Galileo had the science available to prove their theories. Copernicus was polite about his theory, Galileo was a capital pain.Wiki User

What were 2 of Galileo's greatest accomplishments and why did the Catholic Church react towards him after his ideas were being spread?
Galileo promoted the Copernican model of the planets, with the Sun at the centre. The church told him not to say it was the absolute truth but just to teach it as a theory for predicting the planets' positions, pending more conclusive proof. He discovered things with his telescope that raised doubts about the old Ptolemaic system with the Earth at the centre. The moons of Jupiter were definitely not orbiting the Earth, and the full range of Venus's phases were a major failure of the Ptolemaic theory. Galileo maintained this must prove that the Copernican theory must be right: but Tycho produced a model with the Earth at the center that correctly predicted the full range of Venus's phases.

How did the Catholic Church react to the creation of the Church of England?
Roman Catholic AnswerAll the bishops, save one, refused to go along with the suppression of the Church and allegiance to the new church established by the King. The faithful were denied the sacraments and forced, legally, to attend Protestant services. The practice of the Catholic faith was forbidden by law, and many people were martyred. All Catholic property from parish churches to monasteries was seized by the King. The Catholic Church established a seminary in Louvain, Belgium to train native born Englishmen to the priesthood. After their ordination they returned to England to offer the sacraments to the beleaguered faithful. Henry VIII was excommunicated by the Holy Father.
What are examples of ecumenism?
How did the people of England react to this? In fact, the vast bulk of the population were very angry at the way the Roman Catholic Church had used them as a source of money. To get married you had to pay; to get a child baptised (which you needed to be if you were to go to Heaven - so the Catholic Church preached) you had to pay; you even had to pay the Church to bury someone on their land (which you had to do as your soul could only go to Heaven if you were buried on Holy Ground). Therefore, the Catholic Church was very wealthy while many poor remained just that….poor. Their money was going to the Catholic Church. Therefore, there were no great protests throughout the land as many felt that Henry would ease up on taking money from them. Henry knew of the Catholic Church's unpopularity and, therefore, used this to his advantage.

Roman Catholic AnswerThat depended entirely on the individual prince. Most of the princes in northern Germany saw in Martin Luther's revolt a chance to free themselves from Rome, so they supported the break. The good Christian princes of Southern Germany were horrified that anyone would attempt to break with the Church that Our Blessed Lord founded for their salvation, and remained Catholic.

What was Henry VIII's react when the pope refused to annul his marriage?
He started a new church, the church of England.Anglican Catholic Answer!Henry sought an annulment, not a divorce! Neither did he seek one from a ,'Catholic,' source, he sought one from a bishop of the Suburbicarian Church of Rome! This is that particular section of the Catholic Church that exists on the mainland of Italy and covers the three main Islands. It is only a part, or branch of the ancient Church.After the Emperor kept the pope in prison, Henry went to his own local,'Particular,' Church and asked his own Bishop, or Metropolitan for an annulment!
