No. Galileo Galilei was put under house arrest for life, during an inquisition by the Catholic Church, for claiming that the Earth was not the centre of the Universe, as was the widely held view at the time.
He was also excommunicated (meaning in the eyes of the Church he was destined to go to hell). The Vatican only revoked the excommunication in the mid 1990s. Better late than never.
