Why do you think other religious men condemned the ideas of Copernicus if he was providing that god created a more perfect system?
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.
What punishment did Copernicus receive because of his ideas?
he was arrested by the church
Why Copernicus not get in trouble with the church?
He did get into trouble. The church exiled him and excommunicated him. He killed himself afterwards.
Did Copernicus believe in a heliocentric model?
Copernicus published an alternative model of the planets' movement in 1543 that had the Sun at the centre. It was the first heliocentric model. It used orbits based on combinations of circles, as the ancient Ptolemaic system had done, which was geocentric. In Copernicus's model the paths followed by the planets were less complicated, but other than that Copernicus had no way of proving if it was right or not at that time, so it isn't known whether he believed in it.
Why was Copernicus reluctant to publish his ideas?
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
