Why was the Roman Catholic Church opposed to the findings of Galileo and other scientists of his era?

“Please respond to my classmate Marc on his
Post  these are the questions what he needed to answer 
A-B) 1. What role did women play in the Scientific Revolution?
(C) 2. What did Copernicus and Galileo contribute to a new vision of the universe, and how did it differ from the Ptolemaic conception of the universe?
(D-E)  3. How were the ideas of the Scientific Revolution spread, and what impact did they have on society and religion?
(F-H) 4. Why was the Roman Catholic Church opposed to the findings of Galileo and other scientists of his era? How did Galileo defend his work? (Make sure to consider the “Opposing Viewpoints” reading on p.377-378.)
Before the era of modern science early people struggled to understand the world around them and above them. Why are we here? Are we the center of the universe? Why do things happen? Is there really a god? Etc.
