Galileo was locked up by the Catholic Church in 1633 for his support of the heliocentric model of the universe, which contradicted the Church's geocentric beliefs. He was charged with heresy for advocating the idea that the Earth revolves around the Sun, which was deemed to be against Church doctrine.
