In the early 1600's Galileo Galilei argued that the tides were evidence for the motion of the Earth, and promoted the heliocentric theory of Copernicus. Because of this in 1633 he was brought to trial by the Roman Inquisition and sentenced to house arrest the rest of his life.

What role did the catholic church play in the develpment of the heliocentric theory promoted by Copernicus and Galileo?

The Catholic Church initially opposed the heliocentric theory proposed by Copernicus and later supported by Galileo, as it contradicted the geocentric view that aligned with certain biblical interpretations. Galileo's advocacy for heliocentrism led to his trial by the Inquisition in 1633, where he was condemned for heresy. The Church's resistance stemmed from a desire to maintain its authority and traditional teachings, but over time, the scientific consensus shifted towards heliocentrism, leading to a reevaluation of the Church's stance on science. Ultimately, the Church's conflict with these early scientists highlighted the tension between faith and emerging scientific inquiry during the Renaissance.

Why did Copernicus not get in trouble with the church?

Nicolaus Copernicus published his heliocentric model in "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium" in 1543, shortly before his death. At that time, the Catholic Church had not yet formally condemned heliocentrism, and Copernicus framed his ideas mathematically rather than as a direct challenge to Church doctrine. Additionally, his work was initially received with caution and curiosity rather than outright opposition, allowing him to avoid significant conflict with the Church during his lifetime.
