Why was Galileo's discovery so threatening to the church?
because catholics believed in geocentrism which is the theory that everything revolves around the earth, and for someone to disprove this theory would probably annoy them.The Church was scared of losing their power/political authority if people found out that there were flaws behind the church's beliefs. They even burned Giordano Bruno at the stake for believing that the stars were suns and that the universe was infinite. The pope at the time then said it heresy to believe in heliocentrism. Heliocentrism meant that the sun was in the center of the solar system and the planets revolved around it. But the church had said that the Earth was in the center. And that the Earth was the center of the universe and that the Catholic church was the center of religion in the world.
