Why did Galileo's idea about the universe frighten the Catholic Church?
It didn't "frighten" the Church. The Church was upset because Galileo was insisting on a theory that he couldn't prove, at that time - the science hadn't been invented yet. The Church allowed him to publish his theory as a theory, but not to claim it was fact until it was proved. Galileo was a very stubborn man who believed he was right (actually, his theory was right, but he couldn't prove it) and he insisted on teaching it as fact, and he insisted on making fun of the pope who was both a patron and a personal friend - this didn't go over very well with the Church.
