Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Holy Office of the Catholic Church, also known as the Roman Inquisition, put the works of Copernicus and Kepler on a list of forbidden books in 1616. This decision was made because the heliocentric model of the solar system presented in their works contradicted the geocentric model that was officially supported by the Catholic Church at the time.
