Who were the people that Galileo got into trouble with?
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.
Why were the ideas of Copernicus and Galileo condemned by the church?
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.
What did the catholic church do to Nicholas Copernicus after he published his theories?

Why did the church view the ideas of Copernicus and Galileo as a threat?
During the Scientific Revolution of the 17th century, astronomers Copernicus and Galileo discovered controversial information about the universe. Copernicus proposed a heliocentric theory that suggested the sun was the center of the universe which Galileo supported with more evidence. Copernicus's work "On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres" and Galileo's "Dialogue on the Two Chief Systems of the World" were both declared unbiblical by the church. Both Copernicus and Galileo were thought of as going against the official position of the church and the church didn't like this because they didn't want people to doubt them. This also upset the church because they believed the sun was created for the earth to provide light and the fact that the earth spins on its axis and orbits the sun would prove the bible is inaccurate. When Galileo was ordered to recant his works, he agreed but as he walked away mumbled "And yet it does move".

Copernicus used mathematics to argue that the Sun is the center of the solar system, giving people a convincing alternative to the Catholic Church's Earth-centered model.
Why Copernicus not get in trouble with the church?
He did get into trouble. The church exiled him and excommunicated him. He killed himself afterwards.
