Because it made a nonsense of what they had been telling people for thousands of years and if that was nonsense, perhaps people may begin to think all they were teaching was nonsense and they would lose power. (which is what happened).

What were 2 of Galileo's greatest accomplishments and why did the Catholic Church react towards him after his ideas were being spread?
Galileo promoted the Copernican model of the planets, with the Sun at the centre. The church told him not to say it was the absolute truth but just to teach it as a theory for predicting the planets' positions, pending more conclusive proof. He discovered things with his telescope that raised doubts about the old Ptolemaic system with the Earth at the centre. The moons of Jupiter were definitely not orbiting the Earth, and the full range of Venus's phases were a major failure of the Ptolemaic theory. Galileo maintained this must prove that the Copernican theory must be right: but Tycho produced a model with the Earth at the center that correctly predicted the full range of Venus's phases.
