I guess that was an early version of trust but verify.

He’s not Kepler, he’s just an angry 15th Century professor mixed with Luther.

Granted, there were still lower church officials upset by Galileo trying to pit the church against science, but Pope Urban only asked that Copernicanism by treated as a hypothesis until it could be better proven, and set Galileo up in some pretty nice digs outside Florence if he would stop being such an obnoxious and arrogant bore. The real enemies of scientific thinking were the academics who used (and tricked) the church to persecute Galileo and Kepler. It wasn’t church dogma being upset by Copernicanism, but Aristotelian professors who couldn’t abide someone making their knowledge of Ptolemy irrelevant. Copernicus himself didn’t delay publication of his theories because of the church, but because he feared mockery by the academics.
