Galileo had a trial 20 years before the second, more famous one, where he was banned from promoting Copernican ideas, and Copernican books in general were banned by the Inquisition and by papal order. But because 20 years later he insulted the Pope that was protecting him from being arrested, some people act like that means it had nothing to do with Heliocentrism.
