Why was Galileo’s work banned?

Naturally, the Catholic Church objected and ordered Galileo to stand trial for heresy in 1633. He was eventually found guilty of believing in heliocentrism and required to formally reject those opinions. He was also sentenced to house arrest, where he remained for the rest of his life, until he died in 1642.
