What punishment did Copernicus receive because of his ideas?

he was arrested by the church


Why were the ideas of Copernicus rejected for so long?

Because the Roman Catholic church had enormous power at the time. They had decided that the earth was the center of the universe, and that any other theory was heresy. Anyone who expressed agreement with Copernicus was liable to be arrested by the Inquisition; he would then risk imprisonment, torture and burning at the stake. Galileo Galilei, the foremost Italian physicist of the day, was arrested for just this, and forced to recant.
