One reason that both protestants and catholics opposed the heliocentric theory was that it:

The answer is B) contradicted Scripture. A great example of how the Bible contradicts the heliocentric theory is Joshua, X 12-13 ("Then spake Joshua to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon. And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jashar? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hastened not to go down about a whole day.")
