The Catholic Church wanted Galileo to go with their idea that the Earth is the center of the solar system as well as the universe. He did so in public since he could have been tortured, imprisoned and even burned at the stake. He was placed under house arrest for the rest of his life.

Was Galileo guilty?

Galileo appeared guilty to the Inquisition because his confessions and admissions seemed tongue in cheek. The record of his trial shows Galileo responding to his inquisitors with great deference.

He claims no recollection of a special injunction which allegedly was read to him in the earlier proceedings and which forbid him to defend or teach the heliocentric system in any way whatsoever. It is unclear if Galileo forgot or if the Holy Office sought to buttress its position through forgery.
