Galileo's brilliant discoveries (like the discoveries of Jupiter's moons etc.) did not cause an uproar but his unsupported claim that the Sun is at the centre of the Solar System was against Catholic teaching at the time, and he promoted it by ridiculing the Pope and was put on trial, when it became clear there was no proof at that time. When proof was eventually produced, long after Galileo's death, the church accepted the theory.
