No-one condemned Copernicus's book. Galileo was told by the catholic church that he could teach Copernicus's theory as a way of predicting the planets' positions in the sky. But Galileo was forbidden from saying the Sun is actually at the centre as a fact, he was only allowed to present it as a theoretical argument.

The church said that religious teachings could not be changed without sufficient evidence. Galileo however said he knew better and proclaimed the heliocentric principle as a fact. His problem was that he had a habit of ridiculing anyone who disagreed with him and that is what got him into trouble.

Eventually Kepler's model of the planets' orbits, published in 1609, was accepted generally after Newton's theoretical discoveries backed it up, and it has been confirmed by numerous observations and measurements since then.
