The people of power in the Church could have looked down the telescope and observed what GG did - the moons of Jupiter going around Jupiter and they could have discussed this with GG possibly concluding that not everything in the solar system goes around the sun.

But they didn't. Instead they threatened GG with torture. GG was not tortured but he knew of people who had been. They showed him the tools of torture and the put him under house arrest so that he could think about that.

Those people were evil. The same organisation survives and covers up the rape of children.
