His statements went against scripture and the doctrine of the church.
In 1613, just as Galileo published his Letters on the Solar Spots, an openly Copernican writing, the first attack came from a Dominican friar and professor of ecclesiastical history in Florence, Father Lorini. Preaching on All Soul's Day, Lorini said that Copernican doctrine violated Scripture, which clearly places Earth, and not the Sun at the center of the universe. What, if Copernicus were right, would be the sense of Joshua 10:13 which says ';So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven'; or Isaiah 40:22 that speaks of ';the heavens stretched out as a curtain'; above ';the circle of the earth';? Pressured later to apologize for his attack, Lorini later said that he ';said a couple of words to the effect that the doctrine of Ipernicus [sic], or whatever his name is, was against Holy Scripture.';True or False, Galileo got in trouble for declaring that the sun circles Earth.?
False. He got in trouble by saying that the model of celestial spheres was wrong, the church was already geocentric at that time, but could have tolerated heliocentrism...it was the claim that the planets are not held in place by invisible spheres that caused trouble.True or False, Galileo got in trouble for declaring that the sun circles Earth.?
That is Poppycock! Galileo got in trouble for declaring that the earth circled the sun.
