>An interesting read is On the Revolutions of Heavenly Bodies by Copernicus, even if you just read the introduction. It’s an appeal to the Pope regarding the scientific nature of his conclusions. Regardless, they still excommunicated him years later for going against what was thought the authority of scripture.
This... is completely false. Copernicus never faced adversity for his heliocentric model.
