Absolutely not.
First of all, Copernicus died before the final draft of the book was published.
Secondly, the introduction to the book was circumspect in saying that these ideas were useful for computation, but not necessarily reflecting reality.
Thirdly, few people paid much attention to the book. Not until 70 years after its publication that any signficant objections to the book were published.
As long as the book was regarded as a useful computational tool, and not a reality, it was read and studied by almost all learned people; most definitely including Jesuit colleges.
It goes against the ideas of the church
The Church viewed Copernicus's theory as heresy because Christian beliefs stated that all of the universe revolved around earth.
he was arrested by the church
Copernicus
He did get into trouble. The church exiled him and excommunicated him. He killed himself afterwards.
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
The Church took the Bible literally, and they interpreted a verse that said the Sun stayed still. They said that Copernicus and Galileo where traitors of the bible and condemned them.
Copernicus was reluctant to publish his ideas because he knew that the church would oppose him, so he was scared of being kill. this is why copernicus was reluctant of publishing his ideas
He knew that the church would oppose his theories.
Nicolas Copernicus
The Catholic Church did not take any direct action against Nicholas Copernicus after he published his theories. However, his heliocentric model of the universe was met with skepticism by some church officials and was eventually placed on the Index of Forbidden Books until revised in 1758. Despite this, Copernicus himself was not persecuted by the Church during his lifetime.
Copernicus was employed by the Church and was reluctant to publish work that contradicted the scriptures. Publication of his book was delayed until the year he died, 1543.
