Best Answer

The Inquisition sentenced Galileo in June of 1633. He remained under house arrest for the rest of his life (1642), smuggling out his later works to be published in Holland, out of reach of the Church.

What year Galileo charged with heresy?

There probably were a few people who believed him right when he came up with his theory. On 31 October 1992, 350 years after Galileo's death, Pope John Paul II gave an address on behalf of the Catholic Church in which he admitted that errors had been made by the theological advisors in the case of Galileo. He declared the Galileo case closed, but he did not admit that the Church was wrong to convict Galileo on a charge of heresy because of his belief that the Earth rotates round the sun.

What was the year of Galileo's big mistake?

Some religious people in the Catholic Church accused Galileo of being in error for his scientific assertion that the earth revolved around the sun; this contradicted Christian understanding of the Bible and in 1633, Galileo became a victim of the Inquisition; he was forced by the Pope to admit he was wrong about his theory. It would not be until 1992 that the Catholic Church, under Pope John Paul II, officially apologized for its persecution of Galileo. But while he was correct that the earth was not "fixed" as the church believed, Galileo did make some errors during his lifetime of scientific experimentation. Probably his biggest mistake was his 1616 theory about what caused the tides; he did not realize that there was a relationship between the moon and the tides, and instead attributed them to the earth speeding up and slowing down at different times of the day.
