Heliocentric theory and why the church was so against it?

The heliocentric theory puts the Sun - not the Earth - in the middle.This annoyed the Church, which thought that humans - the finest of God's Creations - should be in the middle.The Church was against the Heliocentric model because it basically undermined their authority. The Churches stance is based around the fact that humans are Gods chosen people and that we are the center of not only his attention but the universe itself. The Earth not being the center of the universe is a direct contrast to this statement. It got people thinking "if we arn't the center of the universe, maybe we arn't the center of Gods attention either".A more basic explain is that if one thing the church said was wrong whats to say that everything they say isnt wrong?The heliocentric theory puts the Sun - not the Earth - in the middle. This annoyed the Church, which thought that humans - the finest of God's Creations - should be in the middle.
