Galileo got into trouble with the Catholic Church, specifically with the Roman Inquisition. They accused him of promoting the heliocentric theory proposed by Copernicus, which challenged the geocentric view of the Church. Galileo's ideas were viewed as heretical and he was forced to recant his views under threat of imprisonment.
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.
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.
The problem was, he didn't just support Copernicus's idea, and he did not stick to teaching it as a theory, as the church allowed him to do. His problem was that he promoted it aggressively as the absolute truth, and that is what put him on a collision course with the Vatican. He was tried for heresy because he was held to be trying to reinterpret the Bible. Copernicus's theory, as promoted by Galileo, was eventually replaced by Kepler's theory, but the idea of having the Sun at the center was retained. In the 18th century the discovery of the law of gravity and the laws of motion showed that Kepler's model was very close to reality, and it's the model in use today with slight modifications from relativity.
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 did get into trouble. The church exiled him and excommunicated him. He killed himself afterwards.

It goes against the ideas of the church
I think you are referring to Nicolaus Copernicus.
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
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

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
