His ideas went against their beleifs, that the Earth was the center of the universe and he agreed with ideas of Copernicus.
Both scientrusts challenged ideas supported by roman Catholic church
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".
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.
Scientists such as Nicolaus Copernicus and Galileo Galilei developed ideas that contradicted Ptolemy's geocentric model of the universe. Copernicus proposed a heliocentric model with the sun at the center, while Galileo's observations through a telescope supported this idea, leading to the eventual acceptance of the heliocentric model.

Nicholas Copernicus and Galileo
It goes against the ideas of the church
Scientists such as Nicolaus Copernicus and Galileo Galilei developed ideas that contradicted Ptolemy's geocentric model of the universe. Copernicus proposed a heliocentric model with the sun at the center, while Galileo's observations through a telescope supported this idea, leading to the eventual acceptance of the heliocentric model.
In 1616, the church warned Galileo not to defend the ideas of Copernicus. While remaining publicly silent, he continued his studies. Then in 1932, after he had published " Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems", Galileo stood before the court under the threat of torture. So he knelt before the cardinals and read aloud a signed confession that stated that he agreed that the ideas of Copernicus were false.
Copernicus was reluctant to publish his ideas because he knew that the church would oppose him, so he was scared of being kill. this is why copernicus was reluctant of publishing his ideas
