Answer:

Galileo was accused of heresy twice by the catholic church because of his ideas that were different from them.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Catholic Church ruled Galileo's case harshly because it was against the church. The Church authorities remain strict to their beliefs and ban heliocentrism because it was different from their teaching. Church rejected the theory of the Earth rotates on its axis and revolves around the Sun. Galileo was accused twice of heresy and forced to recant from society. He spends his later years under house arrest.
