So yes, that's exactly an example of the "guilty Galileo and the good church" false narrative.

Many useless claims which don't disprove that his sentence was literally because of:

"heresy" ... "that the earth does move, and is not the center of the world" ... "contrary to Holy Scripture"

And the church forbade his book as "heresy" for 200 years.

He was right. The church was wrong, directly referring to the effing "Holy Scripture" to support its claim and played fighting "heresy", keeping being wrong for 200 years afterwards. It's so clear.
