Help please Why were Copernicus's ideas about the universe published in his book On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Bodies unpopular with the accepted views of the Church? The Church believed that the Earth was at the center of the universe. The Church believed that the Earth was entirely flat and surrounded by water. The Church believed that the Vatican was at the center of the known universe. The Church believed that Copernicus was denying the existence of God.

The first sentence is definitely true! The Catholic Church insisted very strongly that the earth was the center of the universe, and Copernicus' theory was heliocentric, meaning he believed the sun was the center. Ironically, both are wrong nowadays since the sun is only the center of our solar system, and the Universe has no real center as far as we can tell.
Hope I helped!

Answer:

The Roman Catholic Church believed that the Earth was at the center of the universe.

Explanation:

Indeed, the Roman Catholic Church supported a geocentrical vision of the Earth and the universe, based on literal interpretation of Bible, contradicting the deductions from astronomical finding with respect to the movement of planets as Venus or even the Sun, which supported that Earth was not the center of the planetary system, but a planet that translates around the Sun.
