His theories were not the problem, but his assertion that the Sun is at the centre of the solar system caused friction, particularly when he promoted his ideas by ridiculing the Pope.

This caused them to take him to court and ask for proof of the assertion, but he could produce no proof and eventually recanted.

After Galileo's time scientific discoveries were made that led everyone to accept that the Sun is at the centre.
