When Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) attempted to promote the heliocentric theory (that the earth moves around the sun) in the seventeenth century, he was tried by the Inquisition in Rome and found "vehemently suspect of heresy". The sentence imposed did not include excommunication, but he was required to "abjure, curse and detest" those opinions and was placed under house arrest for the term of his life.
Only in 1965 did the Catholic Church revoke its condemnation of Galileo.

Nicolaus Copernicus was a devout Catholic, a canon in his church, and, late in life, became a priest.

He was, in fact, a devout Catholic before and after his trial, a close friend of the pope, and sent at least one daughter to the convent. Answer: Galileo because many people were not ready for his ideas
Why Copernicus not get in trouble with the church?

Was Nicholas Copernicus ever officially excommunicated by the Roman Catholic Church?
yes, he was dammned to hell and prohibited from heaven lol later on the catholic church recognized its mistake, so i guess now hes allowed in heaven? lol ... Actually, he was never excommunicated. In fact, he wanted till he was on his deathbed to publish his work because he was slightly paranoid. In fact, he actually studied canon law (the the internal ecclesiastical law governing the Catholic Church). Lastly, Catholic scholars spoke on his work to the pope and cardinals, and the pope (the only man who has the power to excommunicate people) never considered doing. p.s. excommunication has nothing to do with damning someone to hell. It is the declaration that a person is no longer a part of the church community.
