Who was put on trial in 1633 for contradicting the Roman Catholic Church by arguing that Earth moved around the Sun?

Galileo discovered that the Earth rotated around the Sun, rather than the common belief that everything moved around the Earth. However, the Catholic church taught that everything moved around the Earth, as they believed that was what God had said and intended. Since the Catholic church arguably held all of the power in the Middle Ages, he was put on trial.

In 1633, Galileo Galilei was tried by the Roman Catholic Church for advocating the heliocentric model, which stated that Earth moves around the Sun. This trial was a significant event in the history of science, marking the clash between scientific discoveries and religious beliefs. Ultimately, Galileo's views were vindicated centuries later when the Church acknowledged its error in censoring his ideas.
