You're thinking of Galileo; however, the fact that he had to deny, or "abjure," was that the Earth orbited the Sun instead of the other way around.
People probably did think of the Earth as the center of the universe, however, the concept of "universe" was nothing like what it is today. Even the term used, "cosmos," meant both "universe" and "world."

What was gaileo's mechanistic concept of the universe?
Galileo's support for the heliocentric theory (note that this is Copernicus's theory, not Galileo's) got him into trouble with the Roman Catholic Church. In 1633 the Inquisition convicted him of heresy and forced him to recant (publicly withdraw) his support of Copernicus. They sentenced him to life imprisonment, but because of his advanced age allowed him serve his term under house arrest at his villa in Arcetri outside of Florence.AddendumHeliocentrism is the theory that the Sun is at the center of the Solar System as opposed to geocentrism, the Church supported theory which put the Earth at the center of the Solar System. Gravitation(improved)Galileo also added the study of Gravitation of twenty objects. One set of ten were the very light things and the other ten were the heavy pair. The people thought that the heavy pair would fall first but instead they fell at the same time!!! So this is the proof or that the gravity is even.
How did the church disagree from Copernicus and Galileo view of the universe?
This was because Catholic teachings back then were based on the idea that the Earth was the center of the Universe. Threatened by torture, Galileo was forced to deny that the Earth moves and that the Sun was the center of the Universe.

He was teaching as fact what was considered at the time to be an hypothesis or theory. He was not asked to renounce his view, just to quit teaching the unproven as fact.

What Egyptian geographer believed earth was the center of the universe?
You're probably thinking of Ptolemy, though lots of people presumed the Earth was the center of the cosmos, just as they presumed their city was the center of the world. Today we speak of the "Ptolemaic System" (Geocentric) as though he somehow forced this idea on the rest of the world. Actually, the geocentric model was just one way to account for the observed data. Although we would say today that the heliocentric (Sun in the center) model does that better, since there is no actual center to the universe, it's possible to construct a working model using any point as the center for purposes of calculation.
