The Church sought to silence Galileo because his observations could prove Copernicus's theories about the order of the universe, which challenged the Church's authority. After being found guilty of heresy, Galileo was placed under house arrest. His trial exemplified the conflict between scientific discovery and religious doctrine in the 17th century.
