At the time, the official position of the church regarding the heavenly bodies was that the universe was geocentric, that is, that the earth was the center of the universe. This concept came from older Greek thought, founded by Aristotle. During this time, the Protestant Reformation had gained significant influence and it was up to the Catholic church to rein in control of its followers. As a result, any persons not adhering strictly to Catholic doctrine were charged with heresy.
Since Galileo sought to prove the ideas of Copernicus, that is the universe was heliocentric( sun-centered), he was charged with heresy.
