the roman catholic church basically hated anyone who disgagreed with them.. galileo disagreed with their idea that the earth was the center of the universe, so extremely long story extremely short...they hated him and punished him severely...they pretty much made his life hell
Galileo got into trouble with the Catholic Church, specifically with the Roman Inquisition. They accused him of promoting the heliocentric theory proposed by Copernicus, which challenged the geocentric view of the Church. Galileo's ideas were viewed as heretical and he was forced to recant his views under threat of imprisonment.
Galileo challenged church teachings by saying that the heliocentric model of the universe was trueThe Catholic Church charged him with heresy. Due to his support of the heliocentric or sun centered theory. Which directly opposed the Church accepted theory that the sun and planets revolved around the earth.
The Catholic Church, and more specifically the Church in Rome, never tried to murder Galileo. Galileo was a personal friend of the Pope, at that time, and, although he was tried for heresy, and told to stop teaching his theory as fact, as he had no proof, he was certainly never murdered.
Galileo was convicted in 1633 because he went up against the Roman Catholic Church. He disagreed with their beliefs, so the Church took him to court, found him guilty of heresy --going against a religion-- and then sentencing Galileo to house arrest, but for the rest of his life.
Galileo (1564-1642) is sometimes viewed as the "Father of Modern Science" because of his various contributions to science. However, his most controversial position was when he attempted to promote the heliocentric theory, that the earth revolves around the sun, a theory opposed by the Catholic Church because it was contrary to a literal reading of scriptures. The pope reached an agreement with Galileo that he would not promote this theory, unless he could irrefutably prove his position. However, Galileo was strong-willed and abrasive, and soon broke his promise. He was eventually tried by the Inquisition and placed under house arrest, on condition that he recant his views. Galileo was fortunate, firstly to have important friends, and secondly that the Church's attitude to scientific inquiry was gradually becoming more liberal. A predecessor, Giordano Bruno (1548-1600) was burnt at the stake for similar sins. Today, the theory of heliocentrism is universally accepted, but it took until 1965 for the Roman Catholic Church to revoke its condemnation of Galileo.

Galileo was put in prison for writing about his findings. He had gone against the teaching of the Catholic church.
Galileo's work supporting the heliocentric model challenged the geocentric views held by the Catholic Church. The Church saw his ideas as heretical and forced him to recant his views under threat of excommunication. The conflict was resolved centuries later in 1992 when the Catholic Church formally acknowledged that Galileo was right and that the Church's judgment against him was a mistake.
The Crime of Galileo posited that the Sun was the center of the universe instead of the Earth. The was directly opposed to the teaching of the Catholic Church, who deemed Galileo a heretic.
