In 1616, Galileo Galilei angered the Catholic Church by advocating for the heliocentric model of the solar system, which posited that the Earth revolves around the Sun, contradicting the Church's official geocentric view. He supported his argument with observations made through a telescope, which challenged the literal interpretation of certain biblical passages. The Church deemed this perspective heretical, leading to Galileo being warned to abandon his support for heliocentrism. This conflict marked the beginning of a significant confrontation between science and religious authority.
Galileo Galilei's support for the heliocentric model, which posited that the Earth and other planets orbit the Sun, was deemed heretical by the Catholic Church. This belief contradicted the Church's geocentric view, which held that the Earth was the center of the universe. In 1616, the Church formally declared heliocentrism to be heretical, leading to Galileo's trial and eventual house arrest. His advocacy for empirical observation and scientific reasoning further challenged the Church's authority in matters of science and theology.
After Galileo presented his heliocentric beliefs to the Catholic Church, he faced significant opposition. In 1616, the Church declared his views to be heretical, and in 1633, he was tried by the Roman Inquisition. Found guilty, Galileo was placed under house arrest for the remainder of his life, during which he continued to write and conduct research, ultimately producing his influential work "Two New Sciences." He remained in house arrest until his death in 1642.
When Galileo Galilei was called to Rome by the Catholic Church in 1616, it was to address his support for the heliocentric model of the solar system, which posited that the Earth orbits the Sun. After being warned not to promote this view, he was later tried by the Roman Inquisition in 1633. Found guilty of heresy, he was forced to recant his views and spent the remainder of his life under house arrest. Despite this, he continued to conduct scientific research and wrote influential works during his confinement.
Galileo was put on trial by the Inquisition primarily for advocating the heliocentric model of the solar system, which posited that the Earth revolves around the Sun, contradicting the geocentric view supported by the Catholic Church. His 1610 observations, including the moons of Jupiter, provided strong evidence for this model. In 1616, the Church declared heliocentrism heretical, and despite being warned, Galileo continued to promote it, leading to his trial in 1633. Ultimately, he was found "vehemently suspect of heresy" and placed under house arrest.

Yes, they believed the Ptolemiac theory, not the Copernican. They persecuted Galileo Galileo for stating otherwise, Circa 1616. This was because Scripture (as Ecclesiates 1:5) states the world is center not the Sun. And Scripture being the word of God, could not be wrong
Some religious people in the Catholic Church accused Galileo of being in error for his scientific assertion that the earth revolved around the sun; this contradicted Christian understanding of the Bible and in 1633, Galileo became a victim of the Inquisition; he was forced by the Pope to admit he was wrong about his theory. It would not be until 1992 that the Catholic Church, under Pope John Paul II, officially apologized for its persecution of Galileo. But while he was correct that the earth was not "fixed" as the church believed, Galileo did make some errors during his lifetime of scientific experimentation. Probably his biggest mistake was his 1616 theory about what caused the tides; he did not realize that there was a relationship between the moon and the tides, and instead attributed them to the earth speeding up and slowing down at different times of the day.

In 1616, the church warned Galileo not to defend the ideas of Copernicus. While remaining publicly silent, he continued his studies. Then in 1932, after he had published " Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems", Galileo stood before the court under the threat of torture. So he knelt before the cardinals and read aloud a signed confession that stated that he agreed that the ideas of Copernicus were false.
At the time of the research of Copernicus and Galileo, the Roman Catholic Church was the dominant power in southern Europe. Any time that a scientist released a theory which would contradict church doctrine, they would often be prevented from publication. During Copernicus and Galileo's times, the church supported the notion of geocentricity, which holds that the Earth is at the center of the universe, and all other objects revolve around it. When Copernicus created his heliocentric model in De revolutionibus orbium coelestium, it contradicted the current doctrine of the church, so he was extremely hesitant to publish it. In fact, Copernicus did not allow the book to be published until shortly before his death in 1543, and only saw a copy of his published book while he was on his deathbed. The book was left alone for quite a while until 1616, when it was suspended by the Roman Catholic Church on the grounds that it opposed the Holy Scripture. This decree also prevented the publication of defended any ideas that the Earth was not stationary and that the sun was. It was as a result of this decree that Galileo ran into so much trouble with the church.In 1632, Galileo published Dialogo sopra i due massimi sistemi del mondo (Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems), which favored the Copernican system over the geocentric system which was supported by the church. It was as a result of this work that Galileo was sentenced to house arrest in 1633, where he remained until his death. Dialogue was also placed on the Index of Prohibited Books (Index Librorum Prohibitorum).So in short, it was really a result of the Roman Catholic Church's refusal to accept scientific progress that great minds such as Copernicus and Galileo were so hesitant to publish their "heretical" ideas.

Galileo's most significant observation and discovery was that the universe (or now the solar system) was Sun-Centered. Originally, people accepted the Copernican theory that the universe was Earth-centered. For a few years Galileo had to defend his discover until 1616.
Galileo Galilei first promoted a heliocentric solar system as a physical reality in his 1610 book, The Starry Messenger . Opponents, both academic and ecclesiastical, attacked his ideas; and Galileo was less than diplomatic in his replies to their criticism. In early 1616, a group of Roman Catholic scholars debated this topic, deciding that heliocentricism should be taught only as a useful aid to calculation. Galileo agreed to do exactly that, and did so for the next sixteen years.In 1632, Galileo published Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems , which had an intelligent person defend a heliocentric system and a person named "Simplicio" defend a geocentric one. Galileo could not (and did not) deny writing this book; his name was on it. The only issue was whether the book promoted an idea that he had earlier agreed not to promote. Galileo claimed it did not, but his defense was rejected. The proof of this crime was pretty clear to anyone who read the book.
