Best Answer

Nicolaus Copernicus was a Renaissance astronomer and the first person to formulate a comprehensive heliocentric cosmology, which displaced the Earth from the center of the universe. Copernicus dedicated the book to Paul III who was known for his astrological predilection. De Revolutionibus was a book and when he published it the gov't didn't want to get rid of the Earth-Centered (Geocentric) Theory so before they published De Revolutionibus, they wrote in the beginning of the book that the stuff written in the book was all fictional. The book was published in March 1543.

Why did the Catholic Church ban Copernicus' book?

A:Copernicus' book, De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres), was placed on the Index of Forbidden Books by a decree of the Sacred Congregation of March 5, 1616:This Holy Congregation has also learned about the spreading and acceptance by many of the false Pythagorean doctrine, altogether contrary to the Holy Scripture, that the earth moves and the sun is motionless, which is also taught by Nicholaus Copernicus' De revolutionibus orbium coelestium and by Diego de Zúñiga's In Job ... Therefore, in order that this opinion may not creep any further to the prejudice of Catholic truth, the Congregation has decided that the books by Nicolaus Copernicus [De revolutionibus] and Diego de Zúñiga [In Job] be suspended until corrected.
