Who did the Catholic Church accuse of promoting heresy when he supported the work of Nicklaus Copernicus?

Answer 1

The Catholic Church accused Galileo Galilei of promoting heresy when he supported the heliocentric model proposed by Nicolaus Copernicus. Galileo's advocacy for the idea that the Earth orbits the Sun contradicted the Church's geocentric view, which held that the Earth was the center of the universe. His views ultimately led to his trial by the Inquisition and his house arrest in 1633.
