1 answer

The two individuals challenged by the Catholic Church for their belief in heliocentric theory are:

  1. Nicolaus Copernicus
  2. Galileo Galilei

Copernicus proposed the heliocentric model of the solar system, which placed the Sun at the center rather than the Earth, while Galileo's support for this model and his observations that supported it led to significant conflict with the Church.
