What evidence did Galileo have to his theory?

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.

What was the conflict between Galileo and the catholic church?

Galileo was teaching the Copernican heliocentric (sun centered) hypothesis of the universe as fact and openly declared he had no proof to offer. Many in the Vatican, including the pope himself, supported Galileo's claims. However, the pope advised him to stop teaching it as fact when it was only a theory or hypothesis. Galileo refused and began publishing some very anticlerical and sarcastic remarks about the pope and the Roman Curia. He quickly lost any support he had in the Vatican and was sentenced to house arrest by the Inquisition. Pride was his downfall. Copernicus had long supported the heliocentric hypothesis but had no problems with the Church as he did not teach it as a fact.
