Galileo believed that whenever there was a discrepancy between observation and magic book, we should go with observation, and that magic book contained truths beyond human reason.
The catholic church held that they and only they were authorities on the matter, and they had no intention of deferring to observation. They believed he was an asshole who had made a them the object of ridicule. He was threatened with torture, imprisoned long enough to make a show of it, then died under house arrest. No amount of jack legged apologetics in all of the world can rehabilitate the church's actions in this.
Their official codex, of 1616, had this to say on the matter-
TRLDR, it wasn't a dispute over which color drapes to hang in the palace. It was a dispute over the credibility of shamans on the public dole.
