It was for heresy. The following Catholic page The Galileo Controversy has an excellent overview of it, despite playing semantic games about it being for heresy.

I have to say, despite not having the energy to delve too deeply into defending one way or the other, pretty much anything spouted by catholic.com is about as suspect as it can get.

And if anyone read the article, did you get that feeling of zombification creeping over you as the reasonable tone of the words just dulled you into submission ?
