Galileo postulated that the earth was NOT the center of the universe. The Catholic Church strongly disapproved of this idea. They thought that since God made the world, the earth was the center of everything. The church excommunicated Galileo when he would not give up on this idea. In order to get back in good standing with the church, he would have to repent and recant his findings. He was allowed back into the church after his recantation. (However, Galileo maintained this scientific hypothesis-- it could be said he recanted his first recantation!)
The church thretaned him with death if he did not.
