Why did some people oppose the heliocentric theory of the universe?
Most of these people were religious, and because the scriptures supposedly said that the Earth was in the center of the universe (geocentric), they had to stand firm with their beliefs. Only scientists and astronomers believed in the heliocentric theory, and some of them would be excommunicated or almost executed if they weren't geocentric.

Why did Catholic Church oppose Galileo heliocentric?
They did not oppose the theory, known as the heliocentric theory, but they told him he could not promote it as the absolute truth. As long as he taught it as a theory that would be OK.But he said he was cleverer than all the cardinals and continued to promote the theory as the truth by publishing a book that portrayed the Pope as a simpleton, so he was tried for heresy. By this time he was old and tired and when it was shown in court that the theory had no proof, he recanted and said he had been wrong all along.At least a century later science had advanced to the point where it was realised that the Sun is at the centre, so the heliocentric theory was right all along. But that does not make Galielo right, because scientific knowledge during his lifetime did not support the theory.
