Copernicus´s theory that the sun and not the Earth was the centre of the universe was ojected to by the Catholic Church.

The church believed that the Earth was special so it had to be the centre and did not believe the evidence as no one could feel the Earth moving. The church went on to persecute many thinkers that supported the sun centred theory.
