because catholics believed in geocentrism which is the theory that everything revolves around the earth, and for someone to disprove this theory would probably annoy them.
The Church was scared of losing their power/political authority if people found out that there were flaws behind the church's beliefs. They even burned Giordano Bruno at the stake for believing that the stars were suns and that the universe was infinite. The pope at the time then said it heresy to believe in heliocentrism. Heliocentrism meant that the sun was in the center of the solar system and the planets revolved around it. But the church had said that the Earth was in the center. And that the Earth was the center of the universe and that the Catholic church was the center of religion in the world.

Why was Galileos idea considered so unusual at that time?
Beacause people thought that the Earth was the middle of the universe, not the sun.
Why do you think the catholic church objected to the galileos theories so strongly?
He was charged with heresy, a serious crime in those days, for contradicting the church's belief that the Earth is at the centre of the Universe. The church said that if there was proof of this idea, they would have to have a rethink. But in court Galileo could produce no proof and he recanted. But later in the 17th century after Galileo's lifetime scientific discoveries led everyone to accept that the Sun is at the centre of the solar system (but not the Universe).

Why did catholic church leaders oppose Galileos heliocenric model of the unniverse?
They opposed it because at that time there was no evidence strong enough to abandon the old geocentric theory. Science did not have the evidence until the later theories of gravity and the laws of motion were discovered, and it was then possible to calculate that the Sun is so much more massive than the rest of the solar system that it must be at the centre. The church leaders knew about the heliocentric theory and asked for the evidence to support it, which was not available at the time, as was proved at Galileo's trial.

Why did galileos scientific discoveries cause problems for the Roman Catholic Church?
Catholic AnswerThere were many problems on both sides. Galileo had no proof but refused to publish his theory as just a theory. In addition, he had a belligerent attitude and went so far as to deliberately alienate the Pope, who was a personal friend of his. The Church believed that the heliocentric theory contradicted Sacred Scripture and would pose innumerable problems if it was published as fact.
