The Church opposed Galileo's ideas primarily because they challenged the geocentric model, which placed Earth at the center of the universe, aligning with biblical interpretations. Galileo's support for heliocentrism, which proposed that the Earth revolves around the Sun, contradicted established theological views and threatened the Church's authority. Additionally, the rise of the scientific method and empirical observation posed a challenge to traditional religious beliefs. This conflict represented a broader struggle between science and religion during the Renaissance.
Copernicus' heliocentric theory challenged the geocentric view that placed Earth at the center of the universe, contradicting the Church's teachings. The Church saw his ideas as a threat to religious dogma and authority, which led to the banning of his books and the condemnation of his work as heretical.
He was charged with heresy, a serious crime in those days, for contradicting the church's belief that the Earth is at the centre of the Universe. The church said that if there was proof of this idea, they would have to have a rethink. But in court Galileo could produce no proof and he recanted. But later in the 17th century after Galileo's lifetime scientific discoveries led everyone to accept that the Sun is at the centre of the solar system (but not the Universe).
Because it went against what the church says.
I think that it was expected to make the first telescope.
Why do you think the plates began to slip against each other laterally 30 million years ago?
I really don't know... I think it has to do with the Church and Aristole's ideas...

The Church of England and all Anglican denominations are against suicide or assisted suicide even when those wishing to die are not members of a church. In fact they regularly influence politicians to vote against any changes to laws for assisted suicide.
Answer from a CatholicI don't think that the Catholic Church has a defined opinion about the ideas and art of the Renaissance as such. I know that many of the Renaissance ideas are humanistic and many of the people at this time were Deists and opposed to the Church. The Renaissance, as a whole, spelled the death of the great Christian Middle Ages and put way too much emphasis on man and not enough emphasis on God.
Of course everyone has their own opinion. 14.5 million people like the church so much that they were baptized into it. Many are friendly to the church and it's members but have no desire to join. Billions have never heard of the church and therefore have no opinion. And of course there are always those who are against the church, some so extremely that they actively preach against it or have committed crimes against the church and it's members.
Its because he proposed the idea that the earth was not the center of the Universe, rather the sun was. This idea went against what the church had been saying.
Fornication, by definition, goes against the Catholic church. The Seventh Commandment is "You shall not commit adultery" which means do not have willing sexual relations with anyone but your spouse. Fornication is exactly that: Willingly taking part in a sexual relationship with s/he who is not your spouse.Therefore, to sum it all up, the Catholic Church is 100% against fornication.
There is no "Roman" Catholic Church, the Roman was added as a slur against the Catholic Church in England after the protestant revolt. Why anyone would think breaking with the Church would be a good thing is a very puzzling matter, most of them were so enamored of their personal sin that they made up a Church that accepted them as they were, so that they didn't have to change their behavior as the Christian Church as always preached.
i think it was the catholics? not sure though
If the Church considers the ideas of a professed member to be wrong, then he is called a heretic and his ideas are considered heresy. Other terms, most of which are considered insulting, are infidel, heathen, pervert (once meant the opposite of "convert"), and others I can't think of at the moment. Most modern terms for disgusting, vile deviant things originally meant something which deviated from the teachings of the church. Obscenity, blasphemy, etc all had religious connotations originally. == == == ==
