The Catholic Church did not take any direct action against Nicholas Copernicus after he published his theories.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church covers signs in several places, it is well worth reading. Signs and symbols are specifically covered under How is the Liturgy Celebrated beginning with question 1145 and continuing through Holy Images and the liturgical year.
