Not sure I agree... Galileo was prosecuted in good part because he publicized his discoveries in such a way that he embarrassed and humiliated the jesuits at the Vatican observatory, who were supposed to be the best astronomers of the time. The "Simplicio" character in his /Dialogue/, who defended the geocentric system, was perceived to be a reference to them.
But it is hard to tell real motives from mere excuses, even with statements by the people involved...
