How did Galileo disagree with the catholic church...?
Galileo promoted the heliocentric idea. Galileo was teaching the heliocentric theory of the universe as fact when it was, at the time, unproven. The Church asked him to revise his teaching to reflect that it was not a fact but only a theory or hypothesis. Most Church officials were on Galileo's side but agreed that he should tone down is rhetoric. Galileo had a very sharp tongue and was quite sarcastic in his remarks and that did little to help his case. Most of Galileo's disagreement with the Catholic Church was over his caustic personality and refusal to listen to reason. He was advanced the case for heliocentrism - which was accepted by some of the Church, and the Pope had previously approved it when Nicholas Copernicus put it forward, and the Pope actually wrote a foreword to his work. Galileo's problem was that he wouldn't listen to reason and accept ANY advice.
