Copernicus was not condemned.
Copernicus
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 has been around for twenty centuries, in that time, there have been innumerable people who have been condemned as heretics, a partial list of "The Great Heresies" is attached below. If you want a more meaningful answer, you would have to provide a time frame and a country.
Nicolaus Copernicus published his heliocentric model in "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium" in 1543, shortly before his death. At that time, the Catholic Church had not yet formally condemned heliocentrism, and Copernicus framed his ideas mathematically rather than as a direct challenge to Church doctrine. Additionally, his work was initially received with caution and curiosity rather than outright opposition, allowing him to avoid significant conflict with the Church during his lifetime.
The single possessive of "Copernicus" is "Copernicus's." This indicates that something belongs to Copernicus, such as "Copernicus's theory." In some style guides, you might see it simply as "Copernicus'" if the name ends in "s," but "Copernicus's" is generally accepted.
The Condemned.
Copernicus produced an alternative model of the planets that had the Sun at the centre, which contradicted the religious view at the time. The church was unwilling to change its theology without adequte proof. The wisdom of the church's attitude was eventually proved when Copernicus's model was rejected in favour of one discovered by Kepler with elliptical orbits. It also had the Sun at the centre, and when the elliptical orbits were confirmed by Newton's theoretical discoveries the model was generally adopted.
Copernicus' parents were Nicolaus Koppernigk - of which 'Copernicus' is the Latin form - and Barbara (Watzenrode).
Copernicus's full name is Nicolaus Copernicus. "Nicolaus" is his middle name.
Nicholas Copernicus was Polish.
The correct spelling is, indeed, Copernicus.
