The Church had no problem with Copernicus.
Do you, like Galileo, hold that the sun is the primary cause of the tides and that this must be held as proof of the heliocentric solar system, and that all must unquestioning submit to Galileo’s interpretation of Scripture?
With ignorance so blatant, it's amazing you expect to be taken seriously here. Do some research on Copernicus then come back and report to the class. While you're gone, you may want to check into the Church's history of support for all of the sciences...
