Why did the Roman Catholic Church feel Galileo's discoveries were heresy?

Some Catholic ethologists saw them as heresy because they supported the Copernicus' discovery that the earth rotated around the sun. Catholic theology had endorsed the view of Ptolemy (an ancient Greek astronomer) that the sun rotated around the earth. The new discoveries clashed with the Catholic doctrine of the time. Galileo was lucky because the pope was not bother about these issue. This meant that his inquisition led to his house arrest.
