When Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) attempted to promote the heliocentric theory (that the earth moves around the sun) in the seventeenth century, he was tried by the Inquisition in Rome and found "vehemently suspect of heresy". The sentence imposed did not include excommunication, but he was required to "abjure, curse and detest" those opinions and was placed under house arrest for the term of his life.
Only in 1965 did the Catholic Church revoke its condemnation of Galileo.
Johannes Kepler, the sixteenth century German astronomer, was excommunicated, but from the Lutheran church, not the Catholic church. His offense had nothing to do with astronomy, but with the relationship between matter and 'spirit' in the doctrine of the Eucharist. Nicolaus Copernicus was a devout Catholic, a canon in his church, and, late in life, became a priest. He was never excommunicated Galileo was never imprisoned, never tortured, and never excommunicated. He was, in fact, a devout Catholic before and after his trial, a close friend of the pope, and sent at least one daughter to the convent. Answer: Galileo because many people were not ready for his ideas
No, he was excommunicated from the Lutheran Church.
He did get into trouble. The church exiled him and excommunicated him. He killed himself afterwards.
Madonna has never been formally excommunicated. She is simply a lapsed Catholic who is not in good standing with the Catholic church.
Excommunicated
William Tyndale did not reform the Catholic Church, he left it and was excommunicated as a heretic.

No, instead he was excommunicated as a heretic.
They were excommunicated
In the past twenty centuries, more than one group has been excommunicated from the Catholic Church (there is no "Roman" Catholic Church, that is a slur invented in England after the protestant revolt). You would have to specify a time period to get a more precise answer.
Copernicus
Nicolas Copernicus was roman catholic......even though he didnt believe in everything the church said due to the fact that the catholic church at that time was very corrupt
